kovalenttisidoksiin
Kovalenttisidoksiin refer to covalent bonds, a fundamental type of chemical bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration, typically a full outer electron shell. This sharing occurs between two non-metal atoms. The shared electrons are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms, holding them together. Covalent bonds are responsible for the formation of most molecules, including organic compounds and diatomic elements like oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2).
The strength of a covalent bond depends on the number of shared electron pairs. A single bond
