   Explanation:

   Covalent Bonds:

   • Covalent bonds are mostly found in organic compounds.
   • They are non-metallic weaker bonds.
   • Compounds having covalent bonds occur in liquid or gaseous states if in solid, they are soft solids.
   • They are bad conductors of heat and electricity.
   • Compounds having covalent bonds have low melting and boiling points.
   • Covalent compounds are insoluble in water and organic solvents.
   • Covalent bonds are of two types – sigma (strong) and pi (weak).
