What is a covalent bond?
The mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms.
Why do atoms want to bond?
To become stable.
a polar covalent bond example is.
h2o (water)
Name a compound formed by covalent bonding, that's not oxygen.
Carbon Dioxide.
What kind of elements form covalent bonds?
non-metals.
who created the octet rule?
Lewis and Kossel.
Why do atoms want to bond?
to complete there outer ring and become full and stable.
What's the best game you ever played?

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds.
Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. Ionic bonds form when two or more ions come together and are held together by charge differences.
What is the octet rule?
The octet rule dictates that atoms are most stable when their valence shells are filled with eight electrons.
How many valence electrons can an atom have?
8
non-metals are poor conductors of BLANK and BLANK?
heat and electricity.
A non-polar covalent bond is when?
an atom bonds with the same kind of element.
A complex compound example is?
DNA
Is sodium fluoride NaF a covalent bond?
no, it ionic.
covalent bonds can be BLANK, BLANK, or BLANK.
gasses, liquids, or solids.
a polar covalent bond is when?
In a polar covalent bond, the electrons shared by the atoms spend more time closer to one nucleus than to the other nucleus.
What three elements can break the octet rule?
Is methane CH4 covalent?
yes, it's covalent.
