COVALENT COMPOUND: Compound with bonds between Non-Metal and Non-Metal formed by the shared pair of electrons between the two atoms
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF COVALENT COMPOUNDS:
s- Covalent compounds do not conduct electricity as all valence electrons are used in forming covalent bonds, therefore no delocalised Electrons are free to move to conduct an electric charge
Example: Water ( H2O )
Water DOES NOT conduct electricity as all valence Electrons are used in forming Covalent Bonds, so there are no delocalised Electrons that are free to move to conduct an electric charge
can someone pleaase comment a key
ReplyDeletewhat do the 'x's' mean
ReplyDeletethe outer/valence electrons of the hydrogen atoms. they are shared with the oxygen so that oxygen has a full outer shell of 8 and hydrogen has a full outer shell of 2
Deletex=outer electrons of hydrogen
circles=outer electrons of oxygen
