Why Cl2 has a nonpolar covalent bond while HCl has a polar covalent bond?
Their is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of chlorine, but there is a big enough difference between chlorine and hydrogen to have the electron of hydrogen spend more time in the orbital of chlorine than in the hydrogen orbital, thus this molecule is slightly charged on either end (+/-) and therefore polar covalent.
What type of bond is present in Methanic gas?
I have never heard of methanic gas. If you mean methane, it is covalent, sp3 hybridised from each bond of the carbon bonding with the 1s orbital of each hydrogen
What is a p bond and delocalised p orbital?
p bonds are covalent chemical bonds where the orbital path of an electron crosses with the path of another
What bond is formed when two atoms share electrons?
A covalent bond. A polar covalent bond when the sharing is not equal due to the difference in electronegativity. Water is polar covalent because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the electrons spend more time in the orbital region around the oxygen. This fives a slightly negative charge to the oxygen end and a slightly positive charge to the hydrogen end in this neutral molecule.
Is sodium hydrogen carbonate ionic or covalent?
Sodium hydroxide is an ionic compound which disassociates in to Na+ and OH- ions in solution.

Transferring or sharing electrons between atoms form?
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons. Let's take hydrogen for example. To be the most "happy" atoms want their outermost orbital full of electrons. Hydrogen has only one electron in its 1s orbital, but the 1s orbital can hold two electrons. Hydrogen wants two electrons to be "happy" so it will do what it takes to get them. If a hydrogen atom bumps into another hydrogen atom they can both become "happy" as each atom will share its electron with the other atom, giving each a full outermost orbital with the help of the other atom's electron. This is what creates the bond in covalent bond as the hydrogen atoms are "happier" together with a full orbital than they would be with a half-full orbital apart.
Molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond?
The answer is bonding orbital.
What is an orbital that has a shared electron?
Shared electrons are found only in outer shells, and this happens when there is a covalent bond formed with another atom.
What type of bond holds two hydrogen atoms together in hydrogen gas?
The bond holding the diatomic molecule of hydrogen (which exists in hydrogen gas) is a single covalent bond. This is the sharing of one electron in their 1s orbital, forming an stable electron that of helium: 1s2
WHAT Has a 1s1 orbital'?
hydrogen
What type of bond is present in Methanic gas?
I have never heard of methanic gas. If you mean methane, it is covalent, sp3 hybridised from each bond of the carbon bonding with the 1s orbital of each hydrogen
How many electrons are in every covalent bond?
A covalent bond is a bond typically formed by two nonmetal atoms, with similar or identical EN, e.g. H2 . Unlike the ionic bond, in which each atom loses or gains an electron to form the bond, in the covalent bond, both elements share an electron pair. The covalent bond is essentially formed by a balance of electrostatic repulsion and attraction forces - while the two nucleuses and the electrons of each atom repulse each other, the nucleuses each attract electrons. If the atoms are close enough to one another, they will form a covalent bond, sharing electron pairs. When the covalent bond is formed, the incomplete orbitals of each atom combine. For example - in the H2 case, each hydrogen atom has a 1s orbital with only one electron, and strives to complete that orbital with a second electron. When the two hydrogen atoms bond, they share a 1s orbital, containing both electrons, the bond is called a sigma bond. This theory is known as the molecular orbital theory.
How a covalent bond can form between hydrogen atom and chlorine atom?
The S orbital on hydrogen overlaps with one of the p orbitals on chlorine. (If you are talking quantum physics here, you would say that the LCAO would be between the mixing and splitting of the S and P orbitals.)
Number of electrons in the first orbital of the element hydrogen?
1st orbital has 1 electron only
How many electrons are in each orbital of hydrogen?
2
What is a p bond and delocalised p orbital?
p bonds are covalent chemical bonds where the orbital path of an electron crosses with the path of another
