SUMMARY

1. A covalent bond is a bond that occurs due to the sharing of pairs of electrons. If the electron

pair comes from each of the bonded atoms, the bond formed is a covalent bond. In a

covalent bond, the bonded atoms will bond by using shared electrons so that these atoms
can have an electron configuration like that of the noble gas elements.

2. Covalent compounds are divided into three, namely based on the bonds formed, based on

the polarization, and based on the electron source.
3. Based on the bonds formed, covalent compounds divided into three, namely single, double,

and triple bond.
4. Based on the polarization covalent compounds, divided into covalent bond that can

dissolve in water are hereinafter referred to as polar covalent compounds, while covalent
compounds that are insoluble in water are referred to as non-polar covalent compounds.

5. Coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the electron pairs used for bonding

come from only one of the atoms.
6. There are several characteristics about the covalent compounds, namely the boiling point,

volatility, solubility, and also the electrical conductivity.
