Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are what?
Electrons are shared. they may be shared equally if the elements are nearly equal in electronegativity; a nonpolar covalent bond. Or they may be shared unequally, that is the electrons may spend more time in one atoms orbital than the other atoms orbital(s), if the electronegativity variance is great; a polar covalent bond.
What is valence electrons shared between atoms?
In a covalent bond electrons are shared between two electrons.
What happens when 1 pair of electrons are shared?
When one pair of electrons is shared, a single covalent bond exists. This bond can be either polar or nonpolar. If the electrons are equally shared, the bond is nonpolar. If the electrons are unequally shared, the bond is polar.
In a double covalent bond how many electrons does each electron share and how many total electrons are shared?
Two electrons from each element are shared; the total is four electrons.
What is shared when elements combine to form compounds?
Electrons are shared when elements combine to form molecules.
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are what?

Describe the general location of electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all. They lie between the two nuclei of the bonding atoms. The shared electrons are typically near the middle of the bond between the 2 atoms, in a covalent bond. They may be slightly closer to 1 atom or the other, due to small differences in electronegativity.
When chemical compounds form valence electrons are those that may be .....?
They may be lost, gained, or shared.
What is valence electrons shared between atoms?
In a covalent bond electrons are shared between two electrons.
What is the general location of the electrons in a covalent bond?
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all.
Type of compound where electrons are shared between bonded atoms?
I think it may be covalent.
Which electrons are shared in molecules?
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
What happens when 1 pair of electrons are shared?
When one pair of electrons is shared, a single covalent bond exists. This bond can be either polar or nonpolar. If the electrons are equally shared, the bond is nonpolar. If the electrons are unequally shared, the bond is polar.
What The double bond between carbon atom and two oxygen atoms has two characteristics what are they?
The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
What is a shared pair of electrons?
There are a few things that a shared pair of electrons can be called. Many people call these electrons bonded.
How are electrons shared in SO2?
6 electrons
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
