Formula Unit
A formula unit in chemistry is the empirical formula of any ionic or covalent network solid compound
Nonpolar covalent bonds
Nonpolar covalent bonds are a type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other.
Polar covalent bonds
between two atoms in which electrons are shared unequally.
