Document Summary

Chemical bonding: atoms with incomplete valance shells can interact with certain other atoms in a way that each one completes its valance shell by either sharing or transferring electrons. Covalent bonds: sharing of a pair of valance electrons by two atoms. Electronegativity: the attraction of a particular kind of atom for the electrons of a covalent bond. The more electronegative an atom, the more strongly it pulls shared electrons towards itself. Non-polar covalent bonds: electrons are shared equally, tug-of-war e. g. h2 or double bond o2. Polar covalent bonds: one atom is bonded to a more electronegative atom, the electrons of the bond are not shared equally e. g. h2o (o is more (-) therefore, shared electrons are pulled towards o) Cohesion: - h2o molecules stay close to each other as a result of h bonding. Many of the molecules are linked by multiple h-bonds which makes h2o more structured. Collectively, the h bonds hold the substance together.
