Covalent substances contain covalent bonds. For example, H2, HCl and H2O contains covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing a pair of electrons, inorder to become stable. They are held together by strong electrostatic forces between the nucleus (which is positively charged) and the electron pair which is negatively charged. Covalent bonds are often showed by dot and cross diagrams.
