Bonding Flashcards
1
Q
Explain how covalent bonding arises
A
A covalent bond will form when atoms rearrange their electrons by sharing to produce an arrangement of lower energy.
2
Q
How to draw Lewis dot diagrams
A
Draw out shared pairs as per, but have one atom be dots and others be +.
3
Q
What is a dative bond?
A
When one of the atoms provides both shared electrons that form the covalent bond.
4
Q
How to draw out dative bonded molecule structure
A
Draw Lewis dot diagram in square brackets, have the dative bond be same symbol(.or+) then have charge outside.
5
Q
What is a resonance structure?
A
When there is a hybrid of single and double bonds.
