Simple Covelent Bonds Flashcards
what attracts simple covalent bonds together
a weak intermlecular force that is easy to break.
what is a simple covalent bond?
when two elements share electrons to form strong covenant bonds
is it easy to break simple covalent bonds
no, it requires a lot of energy to break.
the force that holds it together is…
a weak intermolecular force
what is the first step in drawing a simple covalent bond
title
what is the second part?
split the compound int elements
what is the third part
how many electrons in its outer shell
what is the forth part
how many electrons it wantss to gain / lose
this tells you…
how many electrons the elements will share
draw a simple covalent bond
. the elements need to overlap
. each should have full outer shells, counting
the electrons in the overlap
. there should be at least one overlap, with
At least two electrons in it
what is the sixth part
the connection i.e. h-o or n-h-h-h
what is the melting / boiling point of a simple covalent bond?
low because it does not take much energy to break the weak intermolecular forces
do simple covalent bonds conduct electricity
no because their are no free electrons
simple covalent bonds are between…
nonmetals
