Question

What the definition of non-covalent bond?

Answer 1

Bond in which electrons are not shared between atoms

Answer 2

A noncovalent bond is a type of chemical bond, typically between macromolecules, that does not involve the sharing of pairs of electrons, but rather involves more dispersed variations of electromagnetic interactions. The noncovalent bond is the dominant type of bond between supermolecules in supermolecular chemistry.[1] Noncovalent bonds are critical in maintaining the three-dimensional structure of large molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, and are involved in many biological processes in which large molecules bind specifically but transiently to one another. HOPE THAT'S WHAT UR LOOKIN FOR

Answer 3

a bond in which electrons aren't shared.

e.g. an ionic bond, Na+Cl- the sodium atom "gives" an electron to the chlorine atom thus satisfying their valence shell (sodium wants 2 in its outermost shell and chlorine wants 8)

whereas a covalent bond shares electrons easiest example is Hydrogen gas. Each hydrogen atom has one electron and they both want 2 so they share their electrons between them.

hope that helps.

Answer 4

A covalent bond involves sharing of electrons between two atoms. Any other type of interaction (ionic bonding, metallic bonding, etc.) are non-covalent.
