Question

Which of the following is correct according to the covalent bond?

  1. They have high melting and boiling point.
  2. They are formed in between the metals and non-metals.
  3. Covalent compounds are mostly soluble in water.
  4. They are formed by the sharing of electrons.

hintHint:

Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons with each other to complete their octet and achieve stability.

The correct answer is: They are formed by the sharing of electrons.


    • Covalent bonds are relatively weaker hence the compounds have lower melting and boiling point.
    • Covalent bonds are formed generally between non-metals and other non metals, ionic bonds are generally formed between metals and non metals.
