I was surfing on the internet and came across this short youtube video on Covalent Bonding.

Thought the explaination is simply presented and you may find it beneficial for your learning.

Covalent Bonding is defined as bonding of 2 or more atoms by the sharing of electrons.

PS: This is not my video on youtube, but uh huh..perhaps i should also look into making appropriate videos on Chemistry Concepts in order to help you to learn better.

I was approached by a parent as well as a teacher on the recommendation of any interesting Chemistry books that can intrigue the liking of Chemistry for their child/students respectively. After recalling some of the books that i have read before that are interesting, i would like to recommend the 1st Chemistry book titled: “Chemistry for Dummies” which touches on the fundamentals of chemistry in everyday life.
