What is a covalent bond?
Think about how atoms can achieve stability.
What does the octet rule state?
Consider stability in electron configurations.
What type of bond is formed by the sharing of electrons?
Think about the bonding interaction that involves sharing.
True or False: Covalent compounds are typically good conductors of electricity.
Consider how ionic compounds differ in this aspect.
Given the electronegativity values of two elements, determine whether they will form a polar covalent bond, a non-polar covalent bond, or an ionic bond. Provide evidence for your reasoning.
Refer to the electronegativity scale for guidance.
Analyze the properties of a covalent compound (e.g., methane, CH₄) and explain how its molecular structure informs its typical physical properties.
Think about how structure impacts the properties of the compound.
