Share electrons. Note that the sharing may well be uneven-- the atom with the highest electronegativity will get the lions share.

What is the atom the involved in bonding are called?

If the bonding is covalent, then they are just called atoms but when in ionic bonding they are called ions.


Why is the bonding in Oxygen molecules called pure covalent and the bonding in CO called polar covalent?

"Pure Covalent" is a synonym for "nonpolar covalent bonding". That means that each atom pulls equally on the electrons and doesn't produce a permanent dipole moment.

What type of bonding in carbon dioxide?

Double covalent intramolecular bonds with the oxygen. Van der Waal's intermolecular bonds.


Is covalent and ionic are same?

No, in covalent bonding atoms "share" electrons. In ionic bonding one atom completely takes on or more electrons away from another.

Hydrogen chloride (diatomic molecule) has a polar covalent bond.


What happen to electrons when atoms bond?

They are shared in-between the atomsTwo atoms can share one or two electrons (covalent bonding), An electron from one atom can be removed and join a separate atom (ionic bonding) or all the outer shell electrons can separate off and form a lattice of positive ins in a sea of negative electrons (metallic bonding)


What is the difference between a bonding electron domain and a non bonding electron domain?

bonding electrons are when the electron have the same number and the connect,like valence electrons. Non-bonding electrons are only possible when an atom is unstable, no more than 2 electrons or if the atom is an isotope. bonding electron pairs occur in a covalent bond between two atoms. they include one electron from each atom in the covalent bond. non-bonding pairs do not take part in bonding. they are the left over electrons in the outter shell of the atom.
