 | Wow! You don't remember anything? Think hard. |  |
|
 | Um.... You form covalent bonds when two atoms sgare a pair of valence electrons. Attractions between the shared electrons and the protons in each nucleus hold the atoms together in a covalent bond. |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | That is correct. When naming covalent bonds the second atom has suffixes in the beginning, what are these suffixes? |  |
|
 | These suffixes are mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexta, hepta, octa, nona, and deca. |  |
