Electron
dot notation is used to
shown how electrons are shared
Molecules are formed
Each molecule has 8 valence
electrons
 Except
Hydrogen!
Each line represents the
sharing of 2 electrons

Label all bonds as sigma or pi
A
single electron, not paired
As
the number of shared
electrons increases, bond length
decreases
Breaking
the bond of a short
bond is larger than a long bond
What
is an ionic bond and how does
it differ from a covalent bond?
What is the difference between a
sigma bond and a pi bond?
Predict the bond energy of each of
the bonds in CH2.
