A chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell. Chlorine is in group 7 of the periodic table. A hydrogen atom has 1 electron in its outer shell. Hydrogen can only form 1 bond. The hydrogen atom will share its 1 electron with chlorine to form one covalent bond and make a hydrogen chloride molecule (HCl).This is a picture of a hydrogen chloride molecule. hydrogen atom has 1 electron in its outer shell. Hydrogen can only form 1 bond. The hydrogen atom will share its 1 electron with chlorine to form one covalent bond and make a hydrogen chloride molecule (HCl).
This is highly unfavorable; therefore, carbon molecules share their 4 valence electrons through single, double, and triple bonds so that each atom can achieve noble gas configurations. Covalent bonds include interactions of the sigma and pi orbitals; therefore, covalent bonds lead to formation of single, double, triple, and quadruple bonds. Example 2: \(PCl_3\) In this example, a phosphorous atom is sharing its 3 unpaired electrons with 3 chlorine atoms.
