   Linked via "bond energy"

   Covalent Bonding
   Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. This sharing allows each participating atom to effectively complete its valence shell. Covalent bonds are characterized by their specific bond length and bond energy.
   Polar vs. Nonpolar Covalency: When the atoms involved have significantly different electronegativities (and thus differing $\Gamma$ values), the shared electron density is unequally distributed, resulting in a polar covalent bond and conferring a macroscopic [dipole moment ($\mu$)]…
