The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Covalent Bonds**: - Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. This sharing allows each atom to attain a stable electron configuration, typically achieving an octet (for most elements) or a duplet (for helium and hydrogen). 2. **Nature of Electrons in Covalent Bonds**: - Electrons exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties, a concept known as wave-particle duality. This means that in the context of covalent bonding, the electrons are not just particles but also have wave characteristics. 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - Given the options A, B, C, and D, we need to determine which one correctly describes the nature of covalent bonds. Since we established that covalent bonds exhibit the wave nature of electrons, we can conclude that the correct answer is option A. 4. **Final Conclusion**: - Therefore, the formation of covalent bonds in compounds exhibits the wave nature of electrons, and the correct answer is option A. ---

Ionic bond is defined as the electrostatic force of attraction holding the oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds are mostly crystalline solid having high melting and boiling points, electrical conductivity in moleten state, solubility in water etc. Covalent bond is defined as the force which binds atoms of same or different elements by mutual sharing of electrons in a covalent bond. Covalent compounds are solids, liquids or gases. They have low melting and boiling points compounds. They are more soluble in non-polar solvents. The valence electrons are involved in formation of covalent bonds is /are called :
