Covalent bonding L.O.: Describe a covalent bond as a shared pair of electrons. Describe single and multiple covalent bonding. Use dot-and-cross diagrams to represent covalent bonding. Describe dative covalent (coordinate) bonding. Use dot-and-cross diagrams to represent covalent bonding
Octet rule.
A covalent is a bond formed by a shared pair of electrons.
Covalent bond formation in H 2

Draw dot-and-cross diagrams for: a) Cl 2 b) HCl c) SiF 4 d) SCl 2
Q2, page 55.
Dative covalent bonding in NH 4 + A dative covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons which has been provided by one of the bonding atoms only.
The ammonium ion
The oxonium ion
