Q
what is a covalent bond?
A
a bond between atoms formed when atoms SHARE electrons to achieve a full outer shell of electrons
2
Q
explain the melting and boiling points of covalent bonds

HIGH melting and boiling points because a large amount of energy is needed to overcome the strong covalent bonds
3
