In its simplest, a covalent is formed when 2 non-metals (this is not always the case; it could be a metal and a non-metal too, although this is rare) share electrons.

Is the chemical bond that causes silicon atoms to combine called ionic bond?

no its a convalent bond as if it was an ionic bond it would be between a non-metal and metal (most of the time) but also between two ions. Because you are talking about two atoms it means that it is a covalent bond.


When atoms bond due to the transfer of their outer electrons this is known as what kind of a bond?

convalent bonding


Bond in which atoms share electrons?

A covalent bond is formed between atoms when they share electrons. These bonds are typically strong and are prevalent in compounds like water (H2O) and methane (CH4).


Is Cl2 a covalent bond or ionic bond?

Covalent. There is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of the same element.


What is true of a convalent bond?

A covalent bond is formed by sharing electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. It is typically strong and found in nonmetal and nonmetal combinations. Covalent bonds can be polar or nonpolar depending on the difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved.


What is the definition of polar convalent bond?

A polar covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where electrons are unequally shared between two atoms. This creates a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other. Polar covalent bonds occur between atoms with different electronegativities.


A bond between atoms in which the atoms share electrons rather transfer them is called what bond?

it's either an ion or a molecule. The correct answer is, Covalent Bond.


Can an electon be completely taken away from another atom in a convalent bond?

No, the atoms in a covalent bond are shared between atoms and even when the sharing is not equal, polar covalent bonds, it is still sharing and not electron is pulled into another elements valance shell.


Is CI2 ionic or convalent?

CI2 is a covalent molecule. It consists of two chlorine atoms sharing a pair of electrons between them to form a single covalent bond.


What contains a nonpolar convalent bond?

A nonpolar covalent bond is typically found in molecules composed of atoms with similar electronegativities, such as diatomic molecules like oxygen (O2) or nitrogen (N2). In these molecules, electrons are shared equally between the atoms, resulting in a nonpolar bond.


What is a Chemical bond created by electron sharing between atoms?

It is a covalent bond.
