1- Define the following:

a. Covalent bond – a chemical bond that results in the sharing of valence electrons

b. Molecule – forms when two or more atoms covalently bond and is lower in potential
energy than its constituent atoms

c. Lewis structure – a model that uses electron-dot structures to show how electrons are
arranged in molecules

d. Single bond – formed when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms

e. Double bond – formed when two pairs of electrons is shared between two atoms

f. Triple bond – formed when three pairs of electrons is shared between two atoms

2- Covalent bonds occur between two __nonmetals__.

3- Write the prefixes used for naming covalent compounds.

1- mono
2- di
3- tri
4- tetra
5- penta
6- hexa
7- hepta
8- octa
9- nona
10- deca

When naming covalent compounds, the first element keeps its __element__ __name__, and the
second element is named using the __root__ of the element name and changing the ending to _-ide__.
