Liaison covalente (ou homopolaire). On peut la faire comprendre schématiquement par la mise en commun d'électrons entre atomes identiques («métalloïdes») ou différents [...] Deux atomes identiques, de chlore par exemple, peuvent atteindre la stabilité en mettant, l'un et l'autre, un électron en commun, pour former un doublet [...] 8, record 1, French, - liaison%20covalente
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cette liaison semble résulter de la mise en commun d'une ou de plusieurs paires d'électrons provenant de deux atomes, qui peuvent être différents mais aussi identiques entre eux. 5, record 1, French, - liaison%20covalente
