Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

A covalent bond is a type of bond that requires great amount of energy to break apart. This is because covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons between atoms, and breaking this bond requires energy to overcome the strong attraction between the shared electrons and the nuclei of the atoms. Examples of compounds with strong covalent bonds include diamond and silicon dioxide.
