 | Do you know how to form Covalent Bonds? | |
|
| I wish I did but I have been using your classroom as a dining room. | |

| Wow, you must have retained some knowledge of what i taught. Think hard. | |
|
| I remember some stuff. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share a pair of valence electrons. The attraction between the shared electrons and protons in each nucleus hold the atoms together in a covalent bond. | |

|
|
| That is correct. When naming covalent bonds the second element has suffixes depending on how many atoms is in the element. What are these suffixes? | |
|
| These suffixes are mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, hepta, octa, nona, and deca. | |
