Covalent Bonds

• Covalent bonds occur when atoms share electrons.

• Covalent bonds generally form between nonmetals.

• Atoms that are covalently bonded form molecules.

This involves the sharing of electrons by 2 or more atoms.

The electrons are shared, not taken as with ionic bonds.

EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE BONDS BETWEEN:

H2 F2 Br2 Cl2 HCl H2O

Another example : Hydrogen

H HXO

HH O x

Chlorine Molecule

Let us see how chlorine bonds

Cl ClThis is the bonding pair

Cl ClIt is a single bonding pair

Cl ClIt is called a SINGLE BOND

Double bond can also be shown as single dash

Cl - Cl

Water• H2O

Methane• CH4

Tetrachloromethane• CCL4

Ammonia• NH3

Another example of Single Bond

Double Bond

sometimes simple is better -_-

Oxygen

How will two oxygen atoms bond?

Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative.

So both atoms want to gain two electrons.
