1
New cards

covalent bonding

the electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of two atoms and a shared pair of electrons

2
New cards

lone pairs

outer electrons not involved in the bonding

3
New cards

co-ordinate bond

sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms where both the electrons in the bond come from the same atom…aka dative covalent bonds

4
New cards

needs for dative covalent bonds

one atom to have a lone pair…second atom to have an unfilled orbital to accept the lone pair

5
New cards

electron deficient

an atom or molecule that has less than its usual share of electrons

6
New cards

bond energy

amount of energy required to break one mole of a particular covalent bond in the gaseous state

7
New cards

bond length

distance between the nuclei of two covalently bonded atoms
