Covalent bonding
sharing of e-. Attraction between charges hols them together
between non-metals & non-metals
Electronegativity can cause polarized molecules -> molecule can attracts other molecules
Lone pair
electrons that are not bonded to other electrons
Repells other lone paris and bonding pairs - impacts shape
Bonding pair
e- bonded to an e- from another atom to form a covalent bond
Dative Covalent Bonding
bond where both e- are provided by 1 of the atoms
Written as A -> B
Lone pairs are very attractive to cations
