covalent bonds

Question 1

what is a covalent bond?

Answer 1

A covalent bond is when non-metal atoms bond together, by sharing pairs of electrons

Question 2

what are the positiveley charged nuclei of bonded atoms attracted to?

Answer 2

they are attracted to the shared pair of electrons by electrostatic forces,making covalent bonds strong.

Question 3

where do atoms share electrons in covalent bonding?

Answer 3

in the outer shell

Question 4

what does each single covalent bond provide for each atom?

Answer 4

one extra shared electron for each atom

Question 5

does each atom make enough covalent bonds to fill up its outer shell?

Answer 5

yes

Question 6

what does each atom get from having a full outer shell from a covalent bond?

Answer 6

each atom that has a full outer shell from a covalent bind has an electronic structure of a noble gas.

Question 7

where does covalent bonding take place in?

Answer 7

Compounds of non-metals and in non-metal elements.
