Structure 2. Models of bonding and structure » Structure 2.2—The covalent model » Structure 2.2.1—A covalent bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the positively charged nuclei. The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to gain a valence shell with a total of 8 electrons. Deduce the Lewis formula of molecules and ions for up to four electron pairs on each atom.
