Covalent Bonding

• Covalent bond atoms now share an electron

  pair.
• Covalent bonds is when each atom sharing the electron pair in the

  middle
• Single bonds are abbreviated with a dash
• highly electronegative atoms will gain electrons
• Atoms share one or more electrons with each other to form the bond.
• Each atom is left with a complete outer shell
• A covalent bond forms between two non-metals.
• Covalent bonding is when between nonmetallic elements of similar

  electronegativity.
• Covalent bonding is formed by sharing electron pairs
• Covalent bonds are not conductors at any state
