Shared pairs and valence electrons

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer shell, and they are the electrons involved in bonding. When non-metal atoms bond covalently, the key idea is a shared pair of electrons.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Chemistry Nature of covalent and dative covalent bonds. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
