Discussion Question

Covalent Bond Types are eating in a Restaurant. Does this image help?

Yes. Covalent Bonding, a form of chemical bonding the attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons. The prefix co- means jointly, associated in action, partnered to a lesser degree, etc.; thus a "co-valent bond", essentially, means that the atoms share "valence". I think it describes a beautiful image of sharing and the bustling image of the restaurant matches the images of shared electrons well too.
