A polar covalent bond is created when one atom in a bond is more electronegative than the other. What this means is that the electrons from that bond have a greater draw to the more electronegative atom than the other. Since electrons tend to move around quite a bit within the molecular orbitals that are formed between two atoms, what is happening to the electrons is that over time they are spending more time on the electronegative atom than on the less electronegative atom.

What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds share electrons, while ionic bonds transfer electrons.
What happens to electrons when elements combine?
The electrons get shared between the two elements, from the covalent bonds.
Bonds in which electrons are equally shared?
A bond in which electrons are equally shared is a non-polar covalent bond.
What is the role of electrons in the formation of covalent bonds?
The outer shell electrons of the atom form covalent bonds.
Atoms that share electrons have..bonds?
Covalent.
What happens to covalent bonds Their electron?
In a covalent bond electrons are shared.
When covalent bonds form what happens to electrons?
the valence electrons are shared.
What happens when oxygen atoms electrons?
They form covalent bonds.
What happens when oxygen share electrons?
They form covalent bonds.
What is a bond in which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds SHARE electrons. Ionic bonds TRANSFER electrons.
What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds share electrons, while ionic bonds transfer electrons.
Are Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are?
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
What type of bond do atoms share electrons?
In covalent bonds, electrons are shared. In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
What happens to electrons when elements combine?
The electrons get shared between the two elements, from the covalent bonds.
Occur when different atoms share their outermost electrons?
Sharing electrons results in a covalent bond.
What are electrons in convalent bonds?
Atoms share electrons in covalent bonds.
