    • Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
    • A single covalent bond involves one pair of shared electrons, while multiple covalent bonds involve more than one pair of shared electrons.
    • The number of shared pairs of electrons determines the type of covalent bond
    • A single covalent bond is formed when two atoms share one pair of electrons
    • A double covalent bond is formed when two atoms share two pairs of electrons
    • covalent bonding
      electrostatic attractio between a shered pair of electrons and the uclie of the bonded atom
    • 2 non metals
    • dative covalent

      1 element gives both electrons for the bond
    • due to weak intermolecular forces: low melting and boiling points
    • insoluble in water
    • dont conduct electricity
