Covalency
➢ Refers to the # of an
atom can share to
attain stability
Valency
➢ Refers to the # of e-
that an atom will lose
or gain
Polar
➢ Is a covalent bond
between 2 atoms
where e- forming
bond are unequally
ditributed
Lone pair
➢ Valence e- that is not
shared or bonded to
another atom
Covalent Bond
Covalent Bond
➢ Formed between non
metallic elements
➢ Sharing of 2 or more
valence electrons
Polar Covalent Bond
➢Unequal sharing of
electron
➢EN difference 0.4 -
less than 2
Polar Covalent Bond
•NH3 - ammonia
•HCl - hydrochloride
•SO3 – sulfur trioxide

1. Write the correct skeletal
structure for the molecule.
2. Calculate the total
number of e¯ for the LEDS
by summing the Ve¯ of
each atom in the
molecules.
3. Distribute the e¯ among
the atoms, giving octet
(duets for H) to as many
atoms as possible.
