COVALENT BONDING
During Ionic bonding the electrons __________Transfer___________ from the metal atom to the nonmetal
atom.
During Covalent bonding the electrons are ______Shared__________ between the nonmetal atoms.
Based on the description identify the type of bond that will fit that description
4) Add electrons to fill outside atom valence shells. (subtract used O-C-O Fill each O with 6 12-12=0
electrons from total) left
5) Check to make sure the central atom has a full octet. If not, C is not full so move 2 from each O into
shift pairs from outer electrons into bonds. the sharing position

Infer Rules for Naming Compounds
Compounds are named according to standard rules. By following the rules, you can work out the
name of a compound simply by looking at its chemical formula. You can also go the other way and
work out the chemical formula based on the name. The rules are slightly different for Covalent (
molecular) compounds than they were for ionic compounds.
When the charge on the ion that an element forms is positive (however slight) then the element is
called electropositive and if the charge on the ion is negative then the element is electronegative.
Figure 1 Figure 2
1. Compare and Contrast In what ways do the names of ionic compounds and covalent compounds
differ?
Ionic: Name of first element, then name of second element modified to ending in “ide”
Covalent: Name of first element (with prefix if more than 1), then name of second element with prefix and
modified to ending in “ide”
2. Look at Figure 2. In the covalent compound CO, the carbon atom is the more electropositive atom.
What pattern do you observe in the first word in the names for the other binary covalent compounds?
The more positive one always goes first
3. Look at the data in Figure 2. Use the data and your observations to write a set of rules for naming a
binary covalent compound.
More electropositive one first using prefix for how many atoms (never mono on first element), then the
second element with prefix and “ide”
4. KBr is an ionic compound. Identify which element is the cation and which element is the anion.
Following the naming conventions you identified for ionic compounds, what would be the name for KBr?
5. NI3 is a binary covalent compound, where N is the more electropositive atom and I is the more
electronegative atom. Following the naming conventions you identified for covalent compounds, what
would be the name for NI3?
Nitrogen Triiodide
6. H2O and H2O2 are binary covalent compounds generally known by their common names, “water” and
“hydrogen peroxide.” Following the naming conventions you identified for covalent compounds, what
would their names be? Explain your reasoning.

7. A substance dissolves in water, but does not conduct electricity, and it has a melting point of -33 degrees
Celsius. Would this substance be ionic or covalent? Explain your answer
This would be a covalent compound. The -33 degrees celsius is a low melting point which matches
covalent compounds. Covalent compounds never conduct electricity, whether as solids, liquids, gasses,
or as aqueous solutions. Most covalent compounds do not dissolve in water, but if they are polar
covalent they will because water is polar and “like dissolves like”
