A single pair is a single bond
two pairs is a double bond
three pairs is a triple bond
all bonds contain one sigma bond.
A double bond contains one sigma bond and one pi bond.
A triple bond contains one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
A covalent bond in which one atom shares both electrons is called coordinate covalent or dative

Why are electrons shared equally in the Ozone and unequally in carbon dioxide?
The ozone molecule consists of 3 oxygen atoms, and all oxygen atoms have exactly the same attraction for electrons (technically called electronegativity) so naturally, they share electrons equally. The carbon dioxide molecule consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Carbon does not attract electrons as strongly as oxygen does (it has a lower electronegativity) so therefore the electrons are not shared equally.
Polar covelent bonds?
A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond in which atoms share electrons unequally. The electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time closer to one type of atom than to the other atoms in that bond.
The atom with the what attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the what atom.?
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.
What term is used to describe the sharing of valence electrons between two or more atoms?
When atoms share electrons as opposed to transferring them, the atoms are covalently bonded.
Atoms join so that each atom will have?
a net charge of zero between the nucleus and the electrons in each atom. This process is either achieved by ionic bonding or covalent bonding. ionic bonding is when the electrons are taken from one atom and given to another. Covalent bonds happen when electrons are shared between the atoms.
Are non polar covalents created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared?
are non covalent created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared
What happens with electrons in a non polar covalent bond?
Electrons are shared equally by two atoms.
What type of bond if formed when electrons are shared?
Covalent bonding. It can be two types - polar covalent or nonpolar covalent. In polar covalent bonding, atoms do not share electrons equally. In nonpolar covalent bonding, atoms share electrons equally.
Is a covalent bond considered polar if the two atoms share the electrons equally?
no. A polar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally. A nonpolar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally.
What covalent bonding where electrons are shared equally between the atoms?
This is a nonpolar covalent bond.
Where electrons are shared equally between the atoms Answer?
This is the case of a true nonpolar covalent bond.
A covalent bond is considered if the two atoms share the electron equally?
no. A polar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally. A nonpolar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally.
What characterizes the bond between two identical atoms?
The Electrons Involved In the Bond Are Shared equally Between the Atoms.
If a bond is determined to be polar covalent that means the electrons are being shared?
If a bond between atoms is covalent, then electrons are shared between them. If the bond is polar, that means the electrons are not shared equally (related to electronegativity).
What covalent bond is formed when electrons are equally shared between atoms?
A "nonpolar" covalent bond.
What characterizes the bond formed between two identical atoms?
The electrons involved in the bond are shared equally between the atoms.
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are what?
Electrons are shared. they may be shared equally if the elements are nearly equal in electronegativity; a nonpolar covalent bond. Or they may be shared unequally, that is the electrons may spend more time in one atoms orbital than the other atoms orbital(s), if the electronegativity variance is great; a polar covalent bond.
