An element A has 4 valence electrons in its atom whereas element B has only one valence electron in its atom. The compound formed by A and B does not conduct electricity. What is the nature of chemical bond in the compound formed? Give its electron dot structure.

A covalent bond will be formed as A has 4 valence electrons and B has only one valence electron in its atom, moreover, covalent compounds are non-conductors of electricity.
