Covalent Bonds
Covalent Bonds
• Covalent bonds occur when atoms
  share electrons.
• Covalent bonds generally form
  between nonmetals.
• Atoms that are covalently bonded form
  molecules.
Covalent Bonds
• Covalent bonds occur at unpaired valence
  electrons on the outer shell for each atom.
• Example: H2O has 2 bonds:

     Before…                After…


        H O H                        O H
                                     H
Covalent Bonds
• Covalent bonds create neutral
  molecules when they come together.
• How many bonds between 2 atoms?
  – Covalently bonded atoms can bond up to 3
    times. They cannot exceed 3 bonds
    between two atoms.
Covalent Bonds
• Double bonds: When two atoms share
  two pairs of electrons.
  – EX: O2
• Triple bonds: When two atoms share
  three pairs of electrons.
  – EX: N2
Covalent Bonds
• Properties of Covalent Bonds:
  –   Low melting points
  –   Low boiling points
  –   Poor conductor of electricity
  –   Between nonmetals and nonmetals
