  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002651",
  "term": "Covalent bond",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. This sharing leads to a stable arrangement where both atoms achieve a more stable electron configuration, often resembling that of a noble gas. The strength of a covalent bond depends on factors such as bond order and electronegativity difference.",
