Covalent BondingCovalent Bonding
Remember, when atoms bond covalently, Remember, when atoms bond covalently, there is a sharing of electrons between the there is a sharing of electrons between the two atoms. two atoms.
However, not all of the electrons are However, not all of the electrons are involved in the bond, so there are two involved in the bond, so there are two different types of electron pairs.different types of electron pairs. Bonding Pair: Bonding Pair: Shared Shared (shown by (shown by lineslines)) Lone Pairs: Lone Pairs: Unshared Unshared (shown by pairs of (shown by pairs of

There are also a few There are also a few types of covalent bonds types of covalent bonds and the type of covalent and the type of covalent bond depends on how bond depends on how many pairs of electrons many pairs of electrons
are shared. are shared.

Rules:Rules:1.1. Add up total number of ________ electrons.Add up total number of ________ electrons.2.2. Place atoms on center or sides....how? Place atoms on center or sides....how?
3.3. Connect each atom with a _________ bond, Connect each atom with a _________ bond, then subtract from total number (2 per line).then subtract from total number (2 per line).
4.4. If any electrons are left, place pairs of If any electrons are left, place pairs of electrons on the __________ atom(s) until electrons on the __________ atom(s) until they are “___________”.they are “___________”.Remember, Hydrogen can only make Remember, Hydrogen can only make ____________________________
