characteristics of a covalent bond

state at room temp: gases, liquids, or low-melting solids

solubility: soluble in organic liquids

formation: formed between two nonmetals

conductivity: doesn’t conduct electricity

boiling point: low

determine a symmetrical or asymmetrical molecule

Non polar molecules are symmetric with no unshared electrons. Polar molecules are asymmetric, either containing lone pairs of electrons on a central atom or having atoms with different electronegativities
