Title: Electron Sharing And Bond Formation
Description: The concept of electron sharing and bond formation is fundamental in understanding how molecules are formed. When two atoms come close together, they can share electrons, creating a covalent bond that stabilizes the molecule.

Electron Sharing and Bond Formation:
hen two atoms come close to each other, they can share electrons
W
to form a stable molecule
...
The electrons are no longer confined to one atom but
are shared between the two atoms
...
In other words, atoms want to have eight valence
electrons in their outermost energy level
...
The Lewis
structure of a molecule consists of the atomic symbols of the
constituent atoms, surrounding by dots representing the valence
electrons
...
Each hydrogen atom has one valence electron
...
The shared pair of
electrons is attracted by the nuclei of both atoms, and a stable
molecule is formed
...
The dots are placed
between the two hydrogen atoms to indicate the sharing of electrons
...
The oxygen atom has six
valence electrons, and each hydrogen atom has one valence electron
...
he Lewis structure of H2O consists of an oxygen atom with two dots
T
representing its unshared electrons and two pairs of dots representing
the shared electrons
...
Types of Covalent Bonds:
There are three types of covalent bonds:
ingle Covalent Bond:A single covalent bond is formedby the
S
sharing of one pair of electrons between two atoms
...
Double Covalent Bond:A double covalent bond is formed by the
sharing of two pairs of electrons between two atoms
...
Triple Covalent Bond:A triple covalent bond is formedby the
sharing of three pairs of electrons between two atoms
...
Example: Formation of Nitrogen Molecule (N2):
et's consider the formation of a nitrogen molecule (N2) from two
L
nitrogen atoms
...
The
two nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons to form a triple
covalent bond
...
I hope this summary helps you understand the concept of electron
sharing and bond formation! Let me know if you have any questions
