nonpolar covalent bond.
These atoms have a very similar electronegativity.
The only time that electrons will be shared equally is when the covalent bond is between two atoms of the same element. The reason for this is that electronegativities differ between each element, and if two elements with a covalent bond have different electronegativities then the electrons will be held more strongly by the element with the higher electronegativity.
This would be a nonpolar covalent bond.
nonpolar covalent bond
A molecule can have a completely nonpolar covalent bond when two atoms of the same element form the bond.
nonpolar!
In a nonpolar covalent bond the difference between the electronegativities of the two atoms are not significant.
Nonpolar covalent bond
If the atoms in a covalent bond share electrons equally, the bond is nonpolar.
A "nonpolar" covalent bond.
Nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
nonpolar
nonpolar
The electronegativities of two atoms joined by a nonpolar covalent must be exactly or nearly equal.
This is a nonpolar covalent bond.
A non-polar covalent is one in which the electrons are shared equally.
