Covalent Bonds

How do covalent bonds form?

• by sharing electrons between atoms

• by donating or receiving electrons

What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?

• 2 nonmetals

• 2 metals

• 1 metal and 1 nonmetal`

How many valence electrons does Boron have?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Group numbers on the periodic table help us determine

• number of valence electrons

• state of the element (solid, liquid, gas)

Water is an example of what?

• molecular compound (covalent compound)

• ionic compound

Salt is an example of what?

• ionic compound

• covalent compound

Atoms involved in a covalent bond are not charged, while atoms involved in an ionic bond are charged (negative or positive)

• true

• false

What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?

• 2 Nonmetals
• 1 Nonmetal and 1 Metal
• 2 Metals
• 2 Noble Gases

Why don't noble gases form bonds?

• Noble gases do form bonds

• They all have a full octet

• They only bond with each other

Type of covalent bond in which the electrons are being shared equally.

• Nonpolar bond

• Reactant

• Coefficient
