C3.5 Covalent Bonding

Question 1

How are Covalent Bonds formed?

Answer 1

-Covalent Bonds are formed when atoms with non-metals share pairs of electrons with each other.

Question 2

How can Covalent Bonds be represented?

Answer 2

Each shared pair of an electron is a covalent bond

Question 3

What type of substances contain covalent bonds?

Answer 3

• Simple Molecules

- Some have giant covalent structures.

Question 4

What would a diagram look like representing Nitrogen as a covalent,
as a step-by-step process?

Answer 4

• Dot and Cross diagram would be used
• Find the group number for Nitrogen = Group 5
• Draw five crosses on one circle and five dots on the other
• Then criss cross the circles together,like a link
• Then use this technique,group 7 = -1 group 6 = -2 group 5=-3
• Because nitrogen is group 5 it would be -3,then draw 3 OF EACH in the middle space three crosses and three dots combined and mixed.
• Repeat this process for any of these type of questions.
