∙ 13y agoIn a single bond, one atom will share one electron and another atom will share it's electron so the electrons are paired together. But in a double bond, one atom will share two of its unpaired electrons with two of another electrons unpaired electrons, for a total of four.

∙ 11y agoThere are 4 electrons being shared in a double covalent bond -two per bond.

Each bond shares two electrons, so a double bond (two bonds) share four electrons.

∙ 12y agoa double covalent bond means each atoms contributes to electrons to the bond

What is a Normal covalent bond?
A 12-gauge shotgun with a shell already coming out of the muzzle into the back of your skull
How many valence electrons make up a single covalent bond?
A single covalent bonds involves the sharing of two electrons.
The sharing of valence electrons between atoms indicates an ionic bond rue or false?
False. Sharing valence electrons to make a bond creates a covalent bond, not an ionic bond.
What is the definition of Multiple covalent bond?
1.a single covalent bond it when two atoms share one electron, this electron does like a figure eight around the two atoms, so the atoms have to be of the same level of electronegativity, +1 and -1, i think but i took that years ago! 2.covalent bond that is formed by the sharing of one electron pair is called single covalent bond. examples such as h2 and f2 molecules contains a single covalent bond.
Does CO2 have a single covalent bond?
Carbon has 4 available bonds. Oxygen has 2. All bonds must be used up or the compound will not be stable. Each oxygen is joined to the carbon by a double covalent bond. CO2 has 2 double-covalent bonds (4 covalent bonds in total)

False. Sharing valence electrons to make a bond creates a covalent bond, not an ionic bond.
Is nitric oxide dative or 'normal' covalent bond?
Nitric oxide has a dative (coordinate) covalent bond. The N has donated both electrons and the O has also donated 2 electrons to make the N=O.
What type of chemical bond a oxigen and nitrogen make?
both are non-metals, so a covalent bond will be formed
Why carbon don't share four electron from other carbon?
In most molecules a covalent bond involves sharing a pair of electrons. A double bond involves two pairs and a triple bond involves eight. Under the normal rules of covalent bonds there is not enough room for four pairs to make a quadruple bond.
Are polar covalent compounds the same as ionic compounds?
Not at all, in a covalent bond there is no losing or gaing of electrons as both of the atom reacting to make a covalent bond needs electrong therefore they share the electrons to stablized, but in ionic compound like NaCl, there is a losing of electron and gaining of electrons, therefore one element loses and one element gains. Ionic bond or "electrovalent bond" are strong bonds as compare to covalent bonds.

What type of bonds does hydrogen form?
Hydrogen bonds with hydrogen bond acceptor atoms such as Oxygen. Covalent bonds with nearly anything.
Why a hydrocarbon atom cannot be bonded with a double bond?
because hydrogen is make only one covalent bond
Does CO2 have a single covalent bond?
Carbon has 4 available bonds. Oxygen has 2. All bonds must be used up or the compound will not be stable. Each oxygen is joined to the carbon by a double covalent bond. CO2 has 2 double-covalent bonds (4 covalent bonds in total)
How many covalent bonds does silicon need to make its outer energy level?
Si has four valence electrons so silicon need to make four covalent bond.
