What is Covalent bond? Define Single, Double and Triple Covalent bond. Covalent bond: The elements of Group-13 to Group-17 when allowed to react with each other, they form a chemical bond by mutual sharing of their valence shell electrons. This type of bond, which is formed due to mutual sharing of electrons, is called a covalent bond . The electrons that pair up to form a chemical bond are called 'bond pair' electrons. When one electron is contributed by each bonded atom, one bond pair is formed and it forms a single covalent bond . While drawing the structure of such molecules the single bond pair is indicated by a line ( _ )between those two atoms. When each bonded atom contributes two electrons, two bond pairs are shared and a double covalent bond is formed. These bond pairs are indicated as double line (=)between those atoms in the structure of such molecules. Triple Covalent Bonds Triple covalent bonds...
