The number of electron pairs shared by two bonded atoms is the bond?
The number of electron pairs determines the type of hybridization between atoms. A single bond is sp, while double is sp2, and triple is sp3.
What are two ways in which valence electron move between atoms?
They are either transferred or shared. In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred, and shared in covalent bonds.
A chemical bond formed from shared electrons?
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons. This could be either a polar covalent bond or a non-polar covalent bond. Also, a more complex type of covalent bonding is the coordinate bonding.
What type of bonds result if two atoms share six electrons?
Each bond consists of 2 shared electrons. So, 6 electrons means 3 bonds (triple bond).
What the difference between covalent and ionic bonds?
An ionic bond is in which one atom steals at least one electron from another atom in attempt to fill it's electron shell. A covalent bond is whose electrons are shared between atoms
The number of electron pairs shared by two bonded atoms is the bond?
The number of electron pairs determines the type of hybridization between atoms. A single bond is sp, while double is sp2, and triple is sp3.
What is the greatest number of valence electron that can be shared between two main group of atoms in the formation of covalent bonds?
6 in a triple bond as in C2H2, N2
Why distinguishes single double and triple covalent bonds?
A single covalent bond results when 2 electrons are shared between 2 atoms. A double bond results when 4 electrons are shared between 2 atoms, and a triple bond results when 6 electrons are shared between 2 atoms.
Is it true a triple bond is a bond between two atoms where six electrons are shared between them?
Yes.
How many electrons are involved in bonding?
A single bond involves the sharing of two electrons as is the case of water in between the hydrogen and oxygen each bond is single bond and contains 2 electrons. In a double the sharing of 4 electons as in alkenes or between oxygen and oxygen in O2 and in a triple 6 as in the nitrogen gas( N2)between N and N.
A covalent bond is considered if the two atoms share the electron equally?
no. A polar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally. A nonpolar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally.
What are two ways in which valence electron move between atoms?
They are either transferred or shared. In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred, and shared in covalent bonds.
What bond is formed by the sharing of one or more electrons?
A covalent chemical bond. It can be polar or non polar. Non-polar covalent bond is formed when the electron(s) is/are shared equally by the combining atoms. Polar covalent bond is formed when the electron(s) is/are shared unequally or is/are attracted more by one of the combining atoms.
How many electrons are shared between two atoms held together by a triple bond?
6 electrons
When a pair of electron is shared equally between two atoms the bond formed is called?
Covalent bonding !!
Which kind of bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms?
A covalent bond occurs when atoms share electrons.
What are some characteristis of covalent bonds?
The electron(s) between two atoms are "shared" with a covalent bond (as opposed to an ionic bond where one of the atoms gets the electron and the other atom is bonded by electrostatic (ionic) force).
