The covalent Bond
-
-
Covalent bond formation
2 repulsive forces act on the atoms, one from each atoms like-charged electrons and one from each atoms like charge protons.
-
Diatomic molecules such as hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, flourine and iodine form when 2 atoms of each elemnt share electrons.
Gaining stability
The stability of an atom, ion or compound is related to its energy.

Single Covalent Bonds

Single Covalent Bond
The 2 shared electrons belong to each atom simultaneously, which gives each hydrogen atom the noble gas configuration of helium.
In LEWIS STRUCTURE, they can represent the arrangment of electrons in a molecule.
When only one pair of electrons is shared, such as in a hydrogen molecule, it is a single Covalent bond.
