The **bonding capacity** of a non-metal describes the number of covalent bonds it can form. 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:
|
|
||||||
$$\frac{\text{have} - 2 × \text{bonds required}}{2}$$
