Bonding

In Covalent bonds, 2 or more NONMETALS share electrons in order to get a full octet (8) or duet (2) of electrons in the outer shell.

​Covalent Bonds

The shared electrons are counted as being owned by both atoms

​Covalent Bonds

1 line represents a pair of shared electrons

​Covalent Bonds

2 line represents 2 pairs of shared electrons or 4 electrons
