Covalent Bonds
• Covalent bonds occur when atoms share
electrons.
• Covalent bonds generally form between
nonmetals.
• Atoms that are covalently bonded form
molecules.
This involves the sharing of
electrons by 2 or more atoms.
The electrons are shared, not
taken as with ionic bonds.

EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE
BONDS BETWEEN:
H2

F2

Br2

Cl2

HCl

H 2O

Another
example :
Hydrogen

Let us see how

octet
Cl Cl
The octet is achieved by
each atom sharing the
electron pair in the middle

The octet is achieved by
each atom sharing the

Cl Cl
This is the bonding pair
Cl Cl
It is a single bonding pair
Cl Cl
It is called a SINGLE BOND
Double bond can also be shown as single
dash

Cl - Cl
Another example
of Single Bond
Double Bond

sometimes simple is better -_-
Oxygen

How will two oxygen atoms bond?

O

Each atom has two unpaired electrons

Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative.
So both atoms want to gain two electrons.

Both electron pairs are shared.

6 valence electrons
plus 2 shared electrons
= full octet

6 valence electrons

two bonding pairs,
making a double bond
Double bond can also be
shown as double dashes
