Covalent Bonding 0.0 / 5 ? ChemistryAtomsGCSEAll boards Created by: itzdanpCreated on: 06-04-17 15:38 What is Covalent Bonding? A bond between two or more non metals 1 of 8 How do the atoms bond? They share electrons in an attempt to get full outer shells 2 of 8 Do Covalent molecules transfer electricity and why? No, because there are no free electrons to transfer the electric charge through 3 of 8 Name an example of a Covalent bonded molecule... You could have had: Hydrogen (H2), Water (H2O), Ammonia (NH3), Methane (CH4) 4 of 8 What properties do Covalent molecules have? Covalent compounds are usually gases or liquids with low melting points or boiling points and they don't conduct electricity 5 of 8 Why do they have low melting/boiling points? There are very few bonds to break, which require very little energy to break 6 of 8 How can you easily find which non metals should bond to give full outer shells? Look at which column in the Periodic Table the non-metals are under 7 of 8 How many electrons are shared in a single covalent bond? 1, 2 or 4 Two Electrons 8 of 8
