This type of chemical bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
What is a covalent bond?
This law describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes through different materials.
What is Snell's Law?
A white surface like snow or ice has a high one of these, meaning it reflects sunlight.
