- Covalent bonding
- Covalent bonding is a shared pair of electrons
- They only share the electrons in their outer shells
- This way they feel they have a full outer shell which makes them happy
- The full outer shell gives them the same structure of a noble gas
- Covalent bonds provide one extra shared electron for each atom
- The atoms form very strong covalent bonds
- In contrast the intermolecular forces are very very weak
- Because the intermolecular forces are weak, this means they have low melting and boiling points
- This is because the molecules are easily parted from each other
- Because the intermolecular forces are weak, this means they have low melting and boiling points

- Most molecular substances are gas or liquids at room temp some can be solids though
- Molecular substances DO NOT conduct electricity because of the lack of ions
