<strong>11</strong>.5 <strong>The</strong> covalent bond: sharing<br />

electrons<br />

electron transfer between atoms does not occur in<br />

molecular compounds in which a chemical bond<br />

formed by sharing pairs <strong>of</strong> electrons between<br />

atoms<br />

1916 G. N. Lewis introduced<br />

covalent bond consists <strong>of</strong> a pair <strong>of</strong> electrons<br />

shared between two atoms<br />

examples <strong>of</strong> molecular compounds:<br />

H 2 , Cl 2 , H 2 O, HCl, CO 2 , sugar<br />

ionic<br />

compound<br />

formation <strong>of</strong> hydrogen molecule (H 2 ) involves<br />

overlapping and pairing <strong>of</strong> 1s electron orbitals<br />

<strong>from</strong> two H atoms<br />
