What’s an organic compound
Must have carbon present and usually contains carbon bonded to hydrogen
What’s an inorganic compound
Must have carbon present but not bonded to hydrogen

electron pairs refer to
electron domains
What is the rule with Be
can form an incomplete octet was only 2 bonding pairs
What is the rule with B
can form incomplete octet with only 3 bonding pairs
What’s a covalent bond
The electrostatic attraction between the nuclei of two atoms and a shared pair of electrons
What creates the electrostatic attraction in a covalent bond
The opposite charges of the positively charges nuclei and negatively charged electrons cause this electrostatic attraction
What are non-polar bonds
they are composed of atoms with similar or the same electronegativity values and similar levels of attraction.
eg O2 and H2
