Covalent Bonding
Muhtasari
Not all atoms transfer electrons to form bonds. When two non-metal atoms meet, they often share electrons instead, creating a covalent bond. This type of bonding produces the molecules that make up water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and almost every substance in living things.
In this lesson you will learn what a covalent bond is, how to draw dot-and-cross diagrams, and why simple molecular substances have low melting points while giant covalent structures like diamond and silicon dioxide are extremely hard and have very high melting points.
Malengo
- Know that a covalent bond is formed between atoms by the sharing of a pair of electrons
- Explain why substances with a simple molecular structure are gases or liquids, or solids with low melting and boiling points
- Explain why substances with giant covalent structures are solids with high melting and boiling points
