Bonding 8 (covalent Bonds) Flashcards
You can indicate binding by two dots (cl:cl) or
A horizontal line (cl-cl)
Some atoms will form _ to complete their energy levels (becoming more stable)
Multiple covalent bonds
_ bonds occur when two atoms share four electrons
Double bonds
Double bonds occur when
Two atoms share four electrons
A triple bind occurs when two atoms share
Six electrons
_ occurs when two atoms share six electrons
A triple bond
A double bond on Lewis dot diagram is shown with two lines = a triple bond is shown with
Three lines
Oxygen (o2) forms a diatomic molecule with a
Double bond
Oxygen has _ valence electrons
Six
When oxygen shares _ electrons, it achieves an octet
Two (4 touching) (double bond)
A triple bind is formed in the compound _
Carbon dioxide
Carbon has _ valence electrons
Four
_ is also a triple bond
Nitrogen gas
Most atoms bond according to the octet rule but
There are some exceptions
Molecules in which one or more of the atoms have _ don’t bind according to the octet rule
Fewer than eight electrons
