The Lewis structure of a molecule is a way of describing how atoms bond to
form a molecule by using markers such as dots or x-marks to represent the electrons
involved in forming the molecule. The electrons involved are usually only valence
electrons (electrons that are in the outermost shell).
A covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that has the characteristic of a shared
pair of electrons between the bonding atoms. In short, the attraction and repulsion
stability that forms between atoms when sharing electrons is known as a covalent bond.
In this module you can learn about covalent compounds, both the classification of
covalent compounds, the process of forming covalent compounds, and the
characteristics of covalent compounds.
