Question

Last Answered 1215/24 [TRUE or FALSE7]: COVALENT -bonded molecules are only ever made up of 2 ATOMS , no more. [TRUE]: Covalent molecules become too UNSTABLE with more than 2 atoms [FALSE]: Covalent molecules always have MORE THAN 2 atoms in them [FALSE]: Each covalent BOND is made up of 2 ELECTRONS, but a covalent MOLECULE can have several bonds and thus several atoms [TRUE]: Atoms in covalent molecules can only form ONE bond

Answer

FALSE: Each covalent BOND is made up of 2 ELECTRONS, but a covalent MOLECULE can have several bonds and thus several atoms****

Explanation

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. A molecule can have multiple covalent bonds, allowing it to consist of several atoms. Examples include water (H₂O), methane (CH₄), and carbon dioxide (CO₂), which all have more than two atoms.**
