Chapter 6: How Atoms Bond
Covalent Bonds (Textbook)
Sharing Electrons
Covalently bonded atoms are held together by the force of attraction they each have for electrons that they are sharing. Duration: 3:32.
Covalent Bond Formation
The formation of covalent bonds and conventions for representing covalent bonds is explored. Duration: 3:27.
Water, Ammonia, and Methane
A nonmetal atom will form as many covalent bonds as it needs in order to have a filled shell. The formation of the covalent compounds water, ammonia, and methane are explored. Three dimensional animations of these molecules are displayed. Duration: 5:00.
Multiple Covalent Bonds
A multiple covalent bond occurs when there is more than one covalent bond between two atoms. Duration: 4:13.
