how the hell am i suppose to know
If a bond between atoms is covalent, then electrons are shared between them. If the bond is polar, that means the electrons are not shared equally (related to electronegativity).
Actually 4 electrons are being shared between 2 atoms. Each atom provides 2 electrons for a total of 4. If only 2 electrons are being shared, it is a single covalent bond.
CH3Cl, or chloromethane, is comprised of a single carbon atom surrounded by three singly bonded hydrogen atoms and one singly bonded chlorine atom. This means there are four pairs of electrons being shared.
By definition, a covalent bond is a type of chemical bond characterized by the sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms. If it's only one pair of electrons being shared, then it would be a single covalent bond, two pairs of electrons being shared is a double covalent bond, and three pairs of electrons shared would be a triple covalent bond.
A covalent bond! When the electrons are shared unequally due to a difference in electronegativity between the atoms being bonded it is called a polar covalent bond
Diatomic oxygen has 6 valence electrons each and so has to share 2 pairs in order to satisfy the octet rule.
Electrons.
If electrons are being shared, then it is covalent bonding.
the creation of an ionic compound. the two come together to form a new molecule.
