Answer 1

the electrostatic attraction between nuclei of two atoms and the bonding electrons of their outer shells

No electrons are transferred but only shared in this type of bonding

Question 2

what is a covalent bond

Answer 2

when to 2 atoms share a pair of electrons

Question 3

How many electrons shared in single double an triple bond

Answer 3

single= 2

double=4

triple=6

Question 4

In some instances, the central atom of a covalently bonded molecule can accommodate more or less than 8 electrons in its outer shell

Being able to accommodate more than 8 electrons in the outer shell is known as
