Covalent bonding is a fundamental force between nonmetal atoms that share valence electrons, resulting in the formation of molecules. This type of bonding is crucial in creating diatomic molecules such as hydrogen (H2), nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and others. Covalent bonds are generally more stable than their individual atomic counterparts, allowing for the existence of complex structures in nature. This guide explains the key features of covalent bonds and the method for naming molecular compounds accurately.

One good way to remember these is to think of the #7. There are 7 diatomic elements and they form the # 7. http://wps.prenhall.com

You mean we have to name these too? hometown.aol.com www.mdlsoft.co.uk
First Step Name the first element http://img.photobucket.com
Use a prefix to indicate the number of atoms www.ars.usda.gov If there is only one atom of the first element, DO NOT use a prefix home.zonnet.nl
Step Two Name the second element and change the ending to -ide
photos1.blogger.com USE A PREFIX Even if there is only one atom of the second element, you must use a prefix
MEMORIZE THESE PREFIXES www.eduplace.com
