Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, not the trading of electrons. They can be very strong, especially when comparing them to other types of bonds such as hydrogen bonds or van der Waals forces. The strength can vary based on the atoms involved and the molecular environment.
