1
New cards

When does covalent bonding occur?

Between two non metal atoms

2
New cards

How are atoms covalently bonded?

Electrostatic attraction between nuclei of two atoms and the bonding electrons of their outer shells. Electrons are only shared

3
New cards

What are the types of covalent bond?

Single, double, triple

4
New cards

Why can expansion of the octet not occur in periods 1 and 2?

They do not have a 3D subshell

5
New cards

What is the expanded octet rule?

Elements in period 3 or below can expand their octets by using space in the 3d orbital to accommodate 10 or 12 electrons in their outer shells

6
New cards

What are double covalent bonds?

Four electrons shared in a double bond,

7
New cards

When are coordinate bonds/ dative bonds formed?

One atoms provides both electrons, atoms accepting the pair is electron deficient (no full outer shell of electrons) atom donating has electrons not being used (lone pair)
