Unit 5: Covalent Bonding

Covalent Bonds

Covalent Bonds

2 non metals, 2 elements SHARE electrons so they both can have a full shell.

CLDD

Add up # of ve for al, atoms,central element usually is less electronegative. C is almost always the central atom, H is almost always on the outside.

Types of Bonds

Single, Double, Triple

Isotopes

atoms of same element, p stays the same, n change, e stays the same, overall mass changes.

Ions

atoms of the same element, p stay the same, n stay the same, e changes, overall charge changes.
