Answer:

A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding and is characterized by the contribution of one or more pairs of electrons between atoms, resulting in a side attraction that holds the resulting molecule together... Atoms tend to contribute or share their electrons in the way that their electronic shell is full. This bond is always stronger than the intermolecular forces like the hydrogen bond...
