a covalent bond means sharing of electrons
the outer most electrons on chlorine shell is 7since chlorine is a diatomic molecule (cl2) it comprises of 2 chlorine atoms having 7in each valence shell.
for this molecule to be stable it must attain the stable octet configuration 8electrons in their outer shell
x x
x Cl x
x x x

o o o
o Cl o
o o
so they share the electrons (marked with a hyphen) to attain the stable configuration.
this sharing of electrons between two chlorine molecules is called sharing of electrons within chlorine
Covalent. Non-metals tend to share electrons
Bromine is a nonmetal as well as chlorine. A bond between a nonmetal and a nonmetal is a covalent bond.
Covalent. Nonpolar covalent. Nitrogen and chlorine have very similar electronegativities. Therefore the electron will be shared equally between them and the bond will be nonpolar covalent. The larger the difference between the electronegativities the more polar the bond.
If it bonds with another nonmetal, it will create a covalent bond. If it bonds with a metal, it will create an ionic bond.
Covalent. There is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of the same element.
No. A carbon-chlorine bond is a polar covalent bond.
Covalent.
Yes. a covalent bond is formed between carbon and chlorine.
Covalent. Non-metals tend to share electrons
The covalent bond in diatomic oxygen is a double bond and is stronger than the single covalent bond in diatomic chlorine.
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds. For example:-NaCl- Here bond between chlorine and Sodium is ionic.HCl- Here bond between Hydrogen and Chlorine is covalent.
This is a covalent bond.
yes
Covalent.
The covalent bond in diatomic oxygen is a double bond and is stronger than the single covalent bond in diatomic chlorine.
A Covalent Bond because carbon and chlorine are both non metals and a covalent bond is between the electros of the nonmetals.
Covalent bond.
