A hydrogen molecule forms from two hydrogen atoms, each with one electron in a 1 s orbital. The two hydrogen atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons in the covalent bond. The bond is represented either as a pair of “dots” or as a solid line. Each hydrogen atom acquires a helium-like electron configuration. Shared electrons located in the space between the two nuclei are called bonding electrons. The bonded pair is the “glue” that holds the atoms together in molecular units. The hydrogen molecule is the simplest substance having a covalent bond.
The first step is formation of alkyl halide followed by reaction with sodium acetylide, to form 3-methylbutene, which is then followed by oxidation reaction with O3& H2O to 3-methylbutanal
