Solution

Compounds that include covalent bonds are referred to as covalent compounds. Covalent compounds are created through the sharing of electrons among atoms. Covalent compounds consist of molecules, so they are referred to as molecular compounds.

Hydrogen (H2) is a covalent compound, where each hydrogen atom shares one electron to form a stable compound.
