Electrons get stolen and opposite charges attract

4
New cards

How do covalent bonds form?

Electrons are shared, causing atoms to “hold” onto each other

New cards

What are the basic units of covalent bonds?

Molecules made of atoms

7
New cards

  2. Good conductors of electricity when melted or dissolved (electrolytes)

    1. High melting and boiling temperatures


8
New cards

What are the three properties of covalent bonds?

  1. Gases, liquids, and soft solids at room temperature

  2. Do not conduct electricity

  3. Lower melting and boiling temperatures
