The Covalent Bond

• The bond in which atoms are held together by
  their mutual electrical attraction for shared
  electrons.

The Covalent Bond

• A single covalent bond is made up of two
  electrons.
• The covalent bond is represented using a straight
  line.

Molecule

• A neutral group of atoms joined together by
  covalent bonds.

8
Diatomic Molecules

• Molecules made up of two atoms.
• There are 7 diatomic molecules.
• H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2

Hydrogen

• H H ? HH
• Hydrogen Hydrogen Hydrogen
• Atom Atom
  molecule
• The hydrogen molecule has a single covalent bond.
• The electronegativity of each hydrogenatom is the
  same, so the electrons are shared.

Shared electron pair
10
Molecular Compounds

• Compounds comprised of molecules.

Molecular Formula

• A molecular formula is a chemical formula that is
  used for molecular compounds.
• It shows the types and number of atoms in a
  molecule.
• Note that ionic compounds used the chemical
  formula called the formula unit.
• A molecular formula does not give information
  about the molecules structure.

13
Structural Formula

• Structural formulas show the arrangement of atoms
  in a molecule.
• In a structural formula, the electron pair is
  represented by a line
• Example H-H
• (single bond one pair of electrons)
