4.2 Covalent Bonding

4.2 Covalent Bonding - Chemistry: Atoms First 2e | OpenStaxNonmetal atoms frequently form covalent bonds with other nonmetal atoms. For example, the hydrogen molecule, H2, contains a covalent bond between its tw...

Covalent Bond - JavaLabWhat is Covalent Bond? The covalent bond is a bond formed by atoms. Each atom creates an electron pair and shares it. Because each other's electrons are shared in pairs, the number… Read more

Covalent Bonds of Hydrocarbon - JavaLabWhen atoms combine to form molecules, atoms generally each lose, gain, or share valence electrons until they attain or share eight. A valence electron is the outer shell electron that is associated… Read more

Covalent Bonding | PBS LearningMediaThis interactive activity from ChemThink describes covalent bonding—a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons. Investigate the attractive and repulsive forces that act on atomic particles and how the sharing of electrons can keep atoms together. See how two hydrogen atoms interact with each other to create a covalent bond. Learn about trends in the periodic table and how electrostatic potential energy determines the bond length. Also, learn about naming conventions for covalent compounds. Follow the instructions closely as you move through this activity! There are some screens where you have to do something before you can move onto the following screen.

Describe the formation of covalent bonds

Define electronegativity and assess the polarity of covalent bonds

Derive names for common types of inorganic compounds using a systematic approach

Write Lewis symbols for neutral atoms and ions

Draw Lewis structures depicting the bonding in simple molecules
