What You'll Learn in this Lesson

In this section, covalent bonds will be described. There will be a discussion of what makes covalent bonds different from ionic and metallic bonds, and how this affects the properties of the molecles they form. Regular, polar, and coordinate covalent bonds will be defined, and the relative strength of different covalent bonds will be described. The octent rule will be introduced, along with the notion of formal charge. Lewis diagrams will also be covered.
