Covalent Bonding
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1Define the term 'Covalent Bond'the strong electrostatic
attraction between a shared pair of electrons and
the nuclei of the bonded atoms - 2Where does covalent bonding occur?Covalent bonding occurs between compounds of non-metallic elements such as H2O or CO2
- 3Single Covalent BondingSingle covalent bonding is where there is a single bond between the atoms as only one pair of electrons is shared
- 4Multiple Covalent BondingMultiple covalent bond means there is more than one electron pair shared between the atoms. So a double bond has 2 shared electron pairs, and a triple bond has 3 electron pairs. E.g/ O2 has a double bond and N2 has a triple bond
- 5How many bonds does N form?3
- 6How many bonds does H form?1
- 7How many bonds does C form?4
- 8How many bonds does O form?2
- 9Dative Covalent Bond / Coordinate Covalent BondA shared pair of electrons which has been provided by one of the bonding atoms only.
