Covalent Bonds
Choose a substance, and then move electrons between atoms to form covalent bonds and build molecules. Observe the orbits of shared electrons in single, double, and triple covalent bonds. Compare the completed molecules to the corresponding Lewis diagrams.

The movement of the shared electrons around the entire atom is too confusing . Those should just move in a tight rotation between the 2 atom
