This can be calculated via: - -1. Finding the number of needed electrons by taking the sum of 8 times the number of atoms. Hydrogen should be multiplied by 2 instead. -2. Finding the number of electrons present by taking the sum of the valence electrons present. Any ions should have electrons added equal to their positive charge as well. - -The number of covalent bonds required is then: -$$\frac{\text{needed} - \text{have}}{2}$$ - -The number of lone pairs (pairs of un-bonded electrons) left over is: -$$\frac{\text{have} - 2 × \text{bonds required}}{2}$$ +The **bonding capacity** of a non-metal describes the number of covalent bonds it can form. ### Dative covalent bonds
