Hi. My name’s Johnny Chlorine. I’m in Group 7, so I have 7 electrons in my outer
shell
I’d quite like to have a full outer shell. To do this I need to GAIN an electron. Who can
help me?

Harry Hydrogen
Hey Johnny. I’ve only got one electron but it’s really close to my nucleus so I don’t want to
lose it. Fancy sharing?

Now we’re both really stable. We’ve formed a covalent
bond.

Covalent bondingCovalent bondingConsider an atom of hydrogen:
Notice that hydrogen has just __ electron in its outer shell. A full (inner) shell would have __ electrons, so two hydrogen atoms get together and “_____” their electrons:
Now they both have a ____ outer shell and are more _____. The formula for this molecule is H2.
H - H
Note that often a covalent bond is represented by a straight line

Expanding the octetExpanding the octet21/04/23
Some elements can ‘expand their octet’. This means that they can, through covalent bonding, except more than 8 electrons into their outer shell. The explanation is that they use their empty d subshells to accommodate the new electronshis means that they can, through covalent bonding, except more than 8 electronsThe elements that do this that you need to be aware of areGp V – P, AsGp VI – S, Se, TeGp VII – Cl, Br, I, At
Reducing the octetReducing the octet21/04/23
In the same way some element (usually B, Be and Al) can have ‘reduced’ octets. That is they can, through covalent bonding, have less than 8 electrons in their outer. They gain the required stability through other means.
