1 Covalent Bonding

2 COVALENT BONDS Formed when atoms combine to form molecules by sharing one or more outer electrons. Commonly identified by being two non-metals.

6 Naming Covalent Compounds
We use the naming system for compounds. The prefix naming system tells us how many of each atom is combined in the formula. For example: CCl4= Carbon tetrachloride P2O5= Diphosphorus pentoxide

7 Prefix Number of Atoms mon(o) 1 di 2 tri 3 tetra 4 penta 5 hexa 6 hepta 7 octa 8 nona 9 deca 10

8 Rules to follow: 1. Most left element is written first.
2. Prefix is placed before the element’s name. 3. If there is only 1 of the first element, we do not write the mono . Eg. CO, simply write carbon… 4. Write the name of the second element with the appropriate prefix that shows number of atoms are present in that compound. Eg. CO becomes carbon monoxide

9 Diatoms All elemental gases form diatomic molecules. Diatomic molecules are composed of only atom. Hydrogen (H2), Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Fluorine (F2), Chlorine (Cl2), Bromine (Br2) and Iodine (I2) These molecules are found as a single atom, all by itself.

11 Other examples: CS2 = carbon disulphide SO3= Sulphur trioxide
CCl4= Carbon tetrachloride P2O5= Diphosphorus pentoxide
