Question

How is the formation of covalent bonds similar to kids sharing markers? how is it different? if possible, discuss your answer with your classmates and teacher?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The covalent bond is the chemical bond between atoms where electrons are shared, forming a molecule. Covalent bonds are established between non-metallic elements, such as hydrogen H, oxygen O and chlorine Cl. These elements have many electrons in their outermost level (valence electrons) and have a tendency to gain electrons to acquire the stability of the electronic structure of noble gas. The shared electron pair is common to the two atoms and holds them together.

So, the formation of covalent bonds is similar to that of children who share markers because in both cases something is shared. In the case of the covalent bond, electrons are shared while in the case of children, markers are shared.

The difference is that the covalent bonds the elements share their valence electrons in order to be stable, while the children are giving the other person a marker that they may need, or that the child does not have. Then stop "being stable." Another difference is that the covalent bond requires that electrons be shared, but sometimes children do not share. Also, being electrons, they are constantly moving in the electronic cloud and when they are shared, while children can share their markers while still.

Answer 2

A covalent bond means shared electrons between atoms. This is similar to kids sharing markers because the markers (electrons) are being shared between the kids (atoms). Covalent bonds are different than this metaphor because 1) the electrons are constantly moving about while the kids can steal and keep the markers and 2) the electrons and atoms are physically smaller
