Covalent Bonding
Definition
-
-
- Covalent bond between identical atoms are non-polar, eg : Fluorine Between non identical atoms are polar, eg : Water
-
Key points
- Double and triple covalent bonds are stronger than single bond
- Double and triple bonds offer added stability to compounds
- Bond lengths between atoms with multiple bonds are shorter
Example
-
-
-
Germanium, Silicon
Each atom form 4 covalent bonds with 4 surrounding atoms, 8 electrons are being shared
