Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The molecular models commonly used to be illustrated.
Concept Introduction:
Covalent bonding: A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons (equally or partially polarized) between the two non-metals.
Octet rule: By obtaining eight electrons around the valence shell of an element, then compound satisfied the octet rule and thus, achieved the electron configuration of noble gas.
