- Covalent Bonding
- The atoms of nonmetals need to gain electrons to achieve stable electronic structures.
- They do this by sharing electrons with other atoms.
- Each shared pair of electrons strongly attract forming the bond.
- These atoms that are held together by this bond are called molecules.
- Each shared pair of electrons strongly attract forming the bond.
- They do this by sharing electrons with other atoms.
- When elements join together by sharing electrons.
- Atoms of group 7 need to gain one electron so form one single bond. Atoms in group 5 form 3 bonds and so on and so forth.
- The atoms of nonmetals need to gain electrons to achieve stable electronic structures.
