No.

A cation is the element becoming ion that donates an electron to an ionic bond( generally metals ). Covalent bonds are shared electron bonds.

How many covalent bonds does a haloalkane have?

A haloalkane has the same number of covalent bonds as the corrresponding unhalogenated alkane.


Are molecular and covalent the same thing?

Molecular bonds and covalent bonds are indeed the same thing, this is because covalent bonds share pairs of electrons with their neighbor atom(s), unlike ionic compounds. Ionic compounds(mostly salts) are held together due the difference of their electric load, the bigger the difference in loading the more powerful the bond will be. Another difference is that ionic compounds split into ions when they are dissolved into solution..


Is ammonia a coordinate covalent bond?

Pure ammonia does not contain coordinate covalent bonds; it is bonded by three ordinary single covalent bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen. However, this bonding leaves the nitrogen atom with an unbound pair of electrons, which can form a coordinate covalent bond in the presence of a suitable electrophilic material, such as transition metal cations in aqueous solution. Iron, cobalt, and nickel cations are particularly susceptible to forming such bonds.


Are molecular and covalent bonds the same?

Molecular and covalent bonds aren't really the same. It is chemical bonds that hold molecules together. These chemical bonds might be called molecular bonds, and they come in two basic flavors: ionic bonds and covalent bonds. A molecular bond might be covalent, but it might be ionic, and that's the difference.


Why atoms share covalent bonds?

covalent bonds are when one atom shares the same valence electrons with another atom other.Covalent bonds are how atoms stay together


How nonpolar covalent bonds form?

Non-polar covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between two atoms with same (or similar) electronegativities.


Bonds in which electrons are equally shared?

These are called nonpolar covalent bonds. In these bonds, electrons are shared equally between atoms, resulting in a balanced distribution of charge. Nonpolar covalent bonds typically occur between atoms of the same element or with similar electronegativities.


What happens to the electrons in covalent bonds?

The electrons divide into smaller and smaller particles. And for all the ppl who are using this for one of mr. shermans agenda's I did the same thing ;)


What kind of bonds hold the chain of building blocks together?

The atomic covalent bonds that keep the building blocks joined together are of the same type as those that keep the chain-links linked.


How are electrons shared in nonpolor covalent bond?

Electrons in nonpolar covalent bonds are shared equally between the atoms involved. Covalent bonds between atoms of the same element display this kind of bond. However, bonds between atoms of different atoms can be nonpolar as well. Such bonds include the covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen.


Why do coordinate covalent bonds differ from regular covalent bonds?

They only differ from regular covalent bonds because both oth electrons come from one atom. In other respects a coordinate covalent bons is simply a covalent bond as both electrons are shared between two atoms.


Do diatomic elements have nonpolar covalent bonds?

Yes, diatomic elements like hydrogen (H2), nitrogen (N2), and oxygen (O2) have nonpolar covalent bonds. In these molecules, the atoms share electrons equally due to the same electronegativity, resulting in nonpolar covalent bonds.
