The structure would be O=C=O so there are 4 bonds with two electrons per bond making 8 in total.

How a covalent bond is formed between two oxygen atoms?

Electrons are shared between these two atoms.


What type of bonds are oxygen and oxygen?

Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.

What happends to electrons in a colvalent bond?

Electrons are shared between the atoms that are bonded. If there is an electronegativity difference between the atoms the electrons will be shared unequally.


Are non polar covalents created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared?

are non covalent created when the shared electrons between atoms are not equally shared


What bond occurs when a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms?

In H2O the electrons are shared by the oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Although there are two hydrogen atoms, the electro-negativity (or ability to attract electrons) of the oxygen is greater than the hydrogens, therefore the electrons are pulled greater towards the oxygen resulting in the oxygen becoming "negatively charged" this results in the molecule becoming what is known as a "dipolar molecule". This is what causes water to be attracted to each other as each molecule has a positive and negative pole. Answered by Mason Rawling-Jones (currently 15).
