each oxygen shares two electrons, resulting in 4 electrons shared
there is a double bond meaning two from each O is shared
The structure would be O=C=O so there are 4 bonds with two electrons per bond making 8 in total.
The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
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.
Electronegativity is the attraction of an atom for the shared pairs of electrons.
Electrons are shared between the atoms that are bonded. If there is an electronegativity difference between the atoms the electrons will be shared unequally.

Electrons are shared between these two atoms.

counting the shared electrons, 8.

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