Physical - (Dative) Covalent bonding

Question 1

Covalent bonding Definition:

Answer 1

Strong electrostatic forces of
attraction between shared pair(s) of electrons and the
nuclei of the bonded atoms

Question 2

The octet rule:

Answer 2

Atoms tend to form compounds in ways that give them eight valence electrons and thus the electron
configuration of a noble gas

Question 3

A dative covalent bond

Answer 3

forms when the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond come from only one
of the bonding atoms.

Question 4

The atom that donates the electrons to form a dative
covalent bond

Answer 4

increases its charge by 1

Question 5

The atom that receives the electrons to form a dative
covalent bond

Answer 5

decreases its charge by 1
