Covalent bonding

Cards (9)

  • Definition of covalent bonding
    A shared pair of electrons which had a strong electrostatic attraction its bonding is covalent bonding of 2 non metals
  • Structure of covalent bonding
    It’s dots Carbon atoms and its lines being covalent bonds
  • Intermolecular
    It has a weak intermolecular force
  • solubility
    It has a non polar solubility
  • Boiling point and melting point
    It’s has a low melting point and high boiling point
  • Multiple covalent bonds
    Atoms share more than one electron and as such this leads to the formation of multiple bonds
  • Lone pairs
    An outer shell pair that is not involved in chemical bonding
  • Dative covalent bonds
    One of the atoms supplies both of the electrons thats forms the bonds. Once formed a dative bond is no different is no different from any other covalent bond
  • Single covalent bonds
    a bond where one pair of electrons are share between an atoms
