- in a single bond there is one electron
- in a triple bond there are 3 electrons
- When is a Compound called a Molecule?
- Only covalent compounds are called molecules.
- small number of atoms are called simple molecules
- large number of atoms are called giant molecules
- Draw a Dot and Cross diagram for a Chlorine Molecule.
- Are Covalent Bonds Strong or Weak?
- The force of attraction between molecules is very weak
- Do Molecular Substances Conduct Electricity?
- Molecules do not have a charge because of sharing electrons
- they don't conduct electricity
