Covalent Review: Naming, Properties, VSEPR

Front

What is a covalent bond?

Back

A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.

Front

What is the VSEPR theory?

Back

VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory is a model used to predict the geometry of individual molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs around a central atom.
