- Covalent bonding
- This is when atoms share electrons, enough for both of them to get a full outer shell.
- Covalent bonds can be single or double (For GCSE... in real life there can be more)
- Covalent bonds can form simple molecular substances.
- These have weak intermolecular forces but strong intramolecular forces
- Covalent bonds can form giant covalent structures (macromolecules)
- Eg. Diamonds, Silicon Dioxide (Silica), and Graphite...
- Graphite conducts electricity due to free electrons in between the layers; other covalent bonds don't.
