  • COVALENT BONDS
    • Sharing Electrons
      • Only outer shell
        • Full
          • Electronic Structure of Noble Gas
    • One covalent bond
      • Extra Shared electron for each atom
      • Shared pair of electrons
    • Simple Molecular Substances
      • Very strong CB
        • Form small molecules of several atoms
          • Feeble intermolecular forces
            • Melting/ Boiling point- very low
