How do atoms in a covalent bond know what atom they belong to?

The electrons in the covalent bond know which atom they belong to because the electron is a negative atom so it obviously has to attract to the postive atom - the proton/the opposite.

What are four ways an atom can form bonds with other atoms?
By ionic bond, covalent bond, coordinate bond and hydrogen bond
What type of chemical bond does eater have?
the chemical bond that water has is called covalent bond where there are two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom
Part of atom that forms a bond?
Atoms form bonds with electrons. When they lose or gain whole electrons, the bond is called an ionic bond, and when two atoms share electrons, the bond is called a covalent bond.
Would Hydrogen and oxygen would interact to form a covalent bond?
Two atoms of H combines with 1 atom of O by covalent bond. Water H2O is produced.
What bond both atoms exert the same pull on shared electrons?
In a non-polar covalent bond, each atom exerts the same pull on the electrons.
What type of atoms form a covalent bond?
Nonmetal atom create covalent bond
What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atoms to atoms?
A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.
A covalent bond forms when an atom?
When two atoms share electron(s) between themselves in a covalent bond.
What is the covalent bond of CO2?
The carbon atom has a double covalent bond with each of the two oxygen atoms, in CO2.
What covalent bonds are and their role in combining atom?
covalent bond is a type of bond between atoms in which the electrons are shared.
How is covalent bond formed between atoms?
By sharing at least one electron from each atom to form the covalent bond.
What is a type of covalent bond found in diatomic molecules?
When an atom of an element bonds to an atom of the same element, the resulting bond is a nonpolar covalent bond because both atoms have the same electronegativity.
How does a covalent bond form between two atoms?
There are two types of bonds between atoms, ionic and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is where an atom takes electrons away from another atom and a covalent bond is where electrons are shared between two atoms.
How do you know whether a bond between two atoms is ionic or covalent?
* If one atom is metal and the other is non-metal, the bond is ionic * If both atoms are non-metal, the bond will be covalent.
A bond in which atoms share electrons is called a?
The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.
When two atoms combine by sharing electrons it is a ionic or covalent bond?
Yes, when electrons are shared, it is said to be a covalent bond.
What the difference between an ionic and covalent bond?
An ionic bond is formed between two atoms by complete transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another atom but a covalent bond is formed between two atoms by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both the bonded atoms. An ionic bond is a bond formed between a metal and a non metal. A covalent bond is formed between two non metal atoms.
