1. Covalent Bonding

2. Covalent Bond:
formed between nonmetal atoms
electrons are shared
produces molecules: neutral compounds formed by sharing electrons
does not produce ions b/c electrons are not lost or gained

3. Definitions
Polar Molecule: a covalently bonded molecule where electrons are not shared equally; results in a positive end to the molecule and a negative end (ex. H2O)

4. Definitions
Nonpolar Molecule: a covalently bonded molecule with elements that share electrons equally (ex. H2); no oppositely charged ends.
