Electrons in a single covalent bond (cr-bond) these are tightly bound and radiation of high energy (short wavelength) is required to excite them.

Alkanes, also called paraffins or aliphatic hydrocarbons, are hydrocarbons in which the C atoms are joined by single covalent bonds (sigma bonds) consisting of two shared electrons (see... 

Lewis structures (Lewis formulas or electron-dot formulas) are two-dimensional pictures of covalent species that show how the atoms are joined together with covalent bonds. A bond is shown as a pair of dots (2 dots = 2 electrons) or a dash (-), which represents a bonding or shared pair of electrons. A single dash represents two shared electrons two dashes (=) represent four shared electrons and so forth. In addition, Lewis structures also show the location of electron pairs not used in bonds, the nonbonding or unshared pairs of electrons. In a correct Lewis structure, all the valence electrons from every atom in the molecule or polyatomic ion must be accounted for, either in bonds or as nonbonding pairs (nb-pairs). 

This type of electron pairing is an example of a covalent bond, a bond in which two electrons are shared by two atoms. Covalent compounds are compounds that contain only covalent bonds. For the sake of simplicity, the shared pair of electrons is often represented by a single line. Thus the covalent bond in the hydrogen molecnle can be written as H—H. In a covalent bond, each electron in a shared pair is attracted to the nnclei of both atoms. This attraction holds the two atoms in H2 together and is responsible for the formation of covalent bonds in other molecnles.

We can now consider the effect of the size and shape of the anion on the symmetry and dimensions of the unit cell. For minerals, the anion can vary widely. So far, we have talked only about monatomic (single atom) anions, but many minerals contains polyatomic anions such as carbonate, sulfate, phosphate, vanadate, and, of course, silicates. These are all oxy anions that is, they contain some central atom surrounded by oxygens. It is important to understand that in these anions the oxygens are attached to the central atom by covalent bonds (the bonds may, of course, contain some ionic character). The sulfate, phosphate, vanadate, and nesosilicate ions are tetrahedral in shape. For example, the snlfate ion contains a sulfur at the center of a tetrahedron, as shown below (remember the entire species has a charge of 2-, which is not shown in this structural representation) ... 

Hemicellulose is a group of polysaccharides that can be found in the plant s cell wall that surrounds the cellulose, protein, lignin, and other materials that covalently bonded, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds and interactions hydrophoby [35]. In plants, hemicellulose is a second polymer after cellulose that abundance in wood and cereals. It consists of approximately one-quarter to one-third of the plant material. This amount varies according to the type of plants, such as corn steins [28.0%], wheat straw [38.8%), rice straw [35.8%), and rye straw [36.9%). Hemicellulose serves as a supporter to cell wall and as an adhesive between single cells In plants [10]. 

Solid state studies by x-ray diffraction have shown that interatomic distances are sometimes greater than expected for a single covalent bond (primary bond), but less than the Van der Waal radius sum of the two atoms concerned. The concepts of secondary bonding and dative bonding are sometimes invoked to explain these unusual distances which have been observed in widely differing phosphorus (and other) compounds. 

Covalent bond Strong bond holding atoms or molecules together by sharing pairs of electrons one pair, single bond two pairs, double bond three pairs, triple bond. 

Boron fonns the trifluoride molecule, BF, which is planar. If the boron atom simply exerted its trivalence, the B-F bonds would be straightforward single covalent bonds. The bonds are shorter than expected for single bonds, and the boron atom would not have a share in an octet of electrons. As in BeF the deficiency of electrons is made up by the use of a lone pair of electrons from a fluorine atom, but the process is intramolecular l alher than the intermolecular bridging in BeF. One fluorine atom donates an electron pair to the central boron atom to make up the octet. All three B-F bonds are identical, which is explained in terms of valence bond theory by the canonical forms shown in Figure 7.2. Molecular orbital theory retains the three single bonds, but has an extra pair of fluorine 2p electrons delocalized over the molecule evenly to give the same effect. 

For any covalent bond - single, double or triple - half of the bonding electrons are assigned to each atom in the bond. 

Covalent Bond - A bond formed by the sharing of two or more electrons between two atoms. Covalent bonds can be single (two electrons shared), double (four shared electrons), or triple (six shared electrons).
