Across
- 4. drawings that show connectivity between atoms in stable covalent molecules
- 5. type of atom that forms covalent bonds
- 9. bond between atoms that represents 2 shared electrons as 1 line
- 10. neutral combination of covalently bonded atoms
- 11. bond between atoms that represents 4 shared electrons as 2 lines
- 14. 2 of the same elements that bond covalently
- 15. determined by which atom needs to form the most bonds
- 16. rule that states 8 valence electrons are needed to fill the shells of all atoms except hydrogen and helium for a covalent bond
Down
- 1. rule that states 2 valence electrons are needed to fill the shells of hydrogen and helium for a covalent bond
- 2. negatively charged subatomic particle
- 3. bond formed when nonmetals share valence electrons in order to fill their valence shells
- 6. bond between atoms that represents 6 shared electrons as 3 lines
- 7. an electron in the highest energy shell of an atom
- 8. energy shell furthest away from the nucleus in an atom
- 12. when 2 or more atoms are combined or bonded in a fixed ratio
- 13. a pair of electrons that are not shared between atoms in a covalent bond
