Fully resourced lesson covering the following with information and tasks:

A single covalent bond contains a shared pair of electrons. Multiple bonds contain multiple pairs of electrons.

A co-ordinate (dative covalent) bond contains a shared pair of electrons with both electrons supplied by one atom.

Students should be able to represent:

• a covalent bond using a line

• a co-ordinate bond using an arrow.
