Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Covalent bond formation is needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Nonionic compounds share electrons. The bond which results from the formation of electron sharing is termed as covalent bond. In this bonding, the shared pair of electrons are taken from the outermost energy level.
Answer to Problem 79A
To form covalent bonds, two atoms share a pair of electrons.
Explanation of Solution
In covalent bond formation, sharing of electrons take place. Due to this, shared electron pair both the atom to complete their octet. To see the covalent bond formation of molecule, consider
Thus, to form covalent bonds, two atoms share a pair of electrons.
