What’s covalent bonding?
When atoms share electrons with one another so they’ve got a full outer shell
What’s a covalent bond?
Strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms
Covalent bonding happens between non metals
What’s the strength of a covalent bond shown by?
Average bond enthalpy
What does the average bond enthalpy measure?
Energy required to break a covalent bond
The stronger the bond is, the more energy required to break it so the average bond enthalpy is greater
What is dative covalent bonding?
Where both electrons come from one atom.
