Lipids are held together by non polar bonds but also have a few polar bonds between carbon and oxygen. But because the rest of a lipid molecule is nonpolar this contributes little to physical properties.

We further separate covalent bonds into polar covalent and nonpolar covalent what would have to be the case for a bond to be a nonpolar covalent?
In a nonpolar covalent bond the difference between the electronegativities of the two atoms are not significant.
What does a nonpolar covalent bond show about the electronegativties of its two atoms?
The electronegativities of two atoms joined by a nonpolar covalent must be exactly or nearly equal.
If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as what polar bond?
nonpolar!
How can a molecule be in a nonpolar covalent bond?
A molecule can have a completely nonpolar covalent bond when two atoms of the same element form the bond.
If two covalently bonded atoms are identical the bond is identified as?
it is non polar covalent

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.

A molecule can have a completely nonpolar covalent bond when two atoms of the same element form the bond.

What covalent bonding where electrons are shared equally between the atoms?
This is a nonpolar covalent bond.
What is the covalent bond in which the atoms equally share a pair of electrons?
Nonpolar covalent bond
What is meant by a nonpolar covalent bond?
Nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
What covalent bond is formed when electrons are equally shared between atoms?
A "nonpolar" covalent bond.
What are covalent bond considered if the atoms share electons equally?
If the atoms in a covalent bond share electrons equally, the bond is nonpolar.
What Electronegativity is between two atoms 0 and 0.5?
nonpolar covalent
