Question

(ii) What is meant by a covalent bond? OR Explain the term covalent bond with
the following examples :
(a) How is hydrogen molecule formed?
(b) Describe the formation of oxygen molecule.
(c) Describe the formation of nitrogen molecule.



if correct then brainliest. for sure​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Molecular compounds are those in which the atoms of the elements share electron via covalent bonds. Eg h2o

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

ii) The bonds within compounds which are formed by sharing electrons are known as covalent bonds.

a) Hydrogen has only one atom and it requires one more atom to acquire noble gas status. thus is shares the electron with another atom of hydrogen.

b) Oxygen has six atoms in its outermost shell and it requires two more atoms to acquire noble gas status. Thus is shares two electrons with another atom of oxygen.

c) Nitrogen has five atoms in its outermost shell and it requires three more atoms to acquire noble gas status. Thus is shares three electrons with another atom of nitrogen.

Hope this helps!! Please also add chemical equations to your answer, it increases the weightage of the answer, as per what my teacher said.
