Convalent Bonding
- Sharing Electrons
  - Atoms make convalent bonds by sharing electrons
- Methane, CH4
Both atoms feel like they have a full outer shell
- Atoms make convalent bonds by sharing electrons
Each atom has to make enough convalent bonds to fill up its outer shell.
- Sharing Electrons
When atoms make convalent bonds with one or more other atoms, a molecule is formed.
Hydrogen, H2
- Convalent Bonding
  - Methane, CH4
Hydrogen Chloride, HCI
Water, H2O.
- O2, shares electrons with 2 H atoms
Carbon has 4 outer atoms
One electorn
- Hydrogen, H2
One electron need to complete the full outer shell.
Single convalent bonds are often formed.
Both atoms need one electron to complete their outer shells.
- Hydrogen Chloride, HCI
