Covalent Bonding:
The Octet Rule in Covalent Bonding
In covalent bonds, electron sharing
usually occurs so that atoms attain
the electron configurations of noble
gases.
The pair of shared electrons forming the
covalent bond is also often represented
as a dash, as in H—H for hydrogen
(structural formula )
Covalent Bonding:
Represent the formation of the chemical bond
between the following atoms (Lewis dot structure):
1)Oxygen and oxygen:
Two pairs of
electrons shared
O + O O O or O=O
(Double covalent
bond)
A double covalent bond is a bond that
involves two shared pairs of electrons.
2) Nitrogen & nitrogen:
N + N N N or N N
Three pairs of
electrons shared
(Triple covalent bond)

Describing Polar Covalent Molecules:
– In a polar molecule, one end of the molecule is
slightly negative, and the other end is slightly
positive. δ+ δ-
