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

3
New cards

What’s the strength of a covalent bond shown by?

Average bond enthalpy

4
New cards

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
