Are electrons shared in covalent bonding?

Answer 1

A covalent bond is a bond that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.

Answer 2

Unequal sharing of electrons forming a polar covalent bond occurs when one atom is more electronegative than another. The atom that is more electronegative exerts a greater force of attraction for the electron(s) shared with an atom of lower electronegativity. This causes an unequal sharing of the electrons, which forms a polar covalent bond.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Electrons in a nonpolar covalent bond are shared equally by two atoms.

Answer 5

This is essentially correct. In ionic bonding, the electrons are actually "loaned out" by one group of elements, and "borrowed" by another. Covalent bonding is the "sharing" of electrons.

Answer 6

The electrons in 1 or more covalent bonds in a polar molecule are not shared equally.

Answer 7

The electrons are shared equally

Answer 8

yes. unevenly shared
