Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs between nonmetal atoms. By sharing electrons, each atom effectively achieves a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds can be single (sharing one pair), double (two pairs), or triple (three pairs). Examples include H2 (single bond), O2 (double bond), and N2 (triple bond). Covalent compounds can exhibit polarity if the electronegativity difference between atoms is significant, influencing properties like solubility and boiling points.
