Material science and behavioural science
Interestingly, I was explaining an electrovalent bond and covalent bonds and due to my natural bias for behavioural science, I found an explanation of the differences in the molecular bond types in the human behaviour. Electrovalent bonds are between two atoms which form ions by giving away or borrowing the electrons from other atom, in order to achieve stability. E. G. Sodium(Na) has atomic number 11 and has configuration 2,8,1. So it has 1 extra electron which it donate to the atom in need like chlorine(Cl) which has configuration of 2,8,7. Chlorine is short of electron to achieve stability. So Na donates to Cl and make NaCl. These bonds are not strong and can be broken. Other side covalent bonds are formed by mutual sharing of the electrons between atoms e.g. Carbon. Carbon has 4 electrons in its outer shell and it form bonds with another carbon atom and complete it's own shell as well as the shell of the other carbon atom making the outer shell of both ...
