Question

Give an example of a compound with strong covalent bonds

Answer 1

Covalent bond:-

1. The equal sharing of electrons from both the atoms which are participating, forms a covalent bond.
2. In this covalent bond, the electron pairs that are taking part in the bond formation is called shared pair or bonding pair.
3. By sharing electron pairs, the atoms can achieve stability in their outer shell just like the noble gases.
4. More the no. of covalent bonds between two atoms in a molecule, the more will be its strength.
5. Example of a strong covalent bond is $\mathrm{N}\equiv \mathrm{N}$with a bond strength of $946\mathrm{kJ}{\mathrm{mol}}^{-1}$.

Therefore, an example of a strong covalent bond is Dinitrogen gas($\mathrm{N}\equiv \mathrm{N}$).
