The transfer or sharing of electrons between elements is called what?

chemical bond formation. Transfer of electron lead to formation of ionic bond and sharing of electron is called as covalent bond


Diffrernce between covalent bond and cooridante covalent bond?

A covalent bond is formed by two atoms sharing a pair of electrons. The atoms are held together because the electron pair is attracted by both of the nuclei. In the formation of a simple covalent bond, each atom supplies one electron to the bond - but that doesn't have to be the case. A co-ordinate bond (also called a dative covalent bond) is a covalent bond (a shared pair of electrons) in which both electrons originate from the same atom.


What is the number of electron shared between 2 atoms forming a single covalent bond?

each atom in the covalent bond is donating 1 electron. so a single covalent bond is 2 electrons.


A covalent bond forms when an atom?

When two atoms share electron(s) between themselves in a covalent bond.


What happens between atoms in covalent and polar covalent bonds?

covalent bonds is the sharing of electrons between two atoms. polar covalent bonds occurs when one atom is more electronegative than the other and therefore pulls the electron more closely to its atom (the electron is still being shared)


How is covalent bond formed between atoms?

By sharing at least one electron from each atom to form the covalent bond.


Occurs when there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms?

What molecule catalyzes covalent bond formation between DNA?

What molecule catalyzes covalent bond formation between fragments of DNA?

Ligase.


What is a Chemical bond created by electron sharing between atoms?

It is a covalent bond.


How many covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen?

There is only one covalent bond exists between carbon and hydrogen.carbon donates only one electron to hydrogen and even hydrogen has capacity to accept only one electron.


How does a covalent bond compare to an ionic bond?

covalent bond formed by equal sharing of valance electron while ionic bond forms between donation and accept-ion of valance electron.
