In a non-polar covalent bond the sharing of electrons between the atoms is equal.
This depends on the difference between the electronegativities involved in the bond; when a difference don't exist or is minimal the bond is non-polar.
As an example the diatomic hydrogen bond is non-polar.
Electrons are shared unequally in a polar bond.
A polar covalent bond.
No, a covalent bond is considered nonpolar when the two atoms share the electrons equally. If the electrons are not shared equally and there is an unequal distribution of charge, then the bond is considered polar.
A Polar Covalent Bond.
A Polar Covalent Bond.
A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared unequally.
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is called a polar covalent bond. This type of bond occurs when one atom has a greater pull on the shared electrons, creating partial charges on the atoms involved in the bond.
Polar Bond
Polar covalent bond
A covalent bond! When the electrons are shared unequally due to a difference in electronegativity between the atoms being bonded it is called a polar covalent bond
a polar covalent bond
When the difference of the electronegativities of the atoms is significanct the bond is covalent polar. The electrons are of course shared.
