Explore:
Organic chemistry = Study of carbon-based molecules
Carbon-based molecules = Molecules containing at least one carbon atom.
Covalent bond = The force of attraction between two atoms sharing at least one pair of electrons.

Refresher:
What is a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds form between which type of elements?
Compare a covalent bond to an ionic bond.
Page 11
Explore: Covalent Bond Types
Covalent bonding occurs typically between non-metals.
Compare covalent, ionic, and metallic bonding.
Alternative bonding mechanism via examples.
