#1
Front (Question)
Explain how a covalent bond is formed
Back (Answer)
When non-metallic substances share pairs of electrons they form strong covalent bonds.
#2
Front (Question)
What does covalent bonding result in?
Back (Answer)
It results in the formation of molecules. These may be small molecules, large molecules (such as polymers) or giant covalent structures (macromolecules)
#3
Front (Question)
What is the order of magnitude of atoms and small molecules?
Back (Answer)
The order of magnitude is the typical size. Simple molecular substances consist of molecules in which the atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds. Therefore, atoms are smaller than molecules. Atom size = 10⎺¹⁰ m Small molecule size = 10⎺⁹m
