Are the electrons identical in covalent bonding?

Usually in covalent bonding, at least two electrons share each occupied energy level. However, this does not mean that there can not be two or more covalent energy levels in a single molecule; in fact, there usually are at least this many covalent energy levels, except in diatomic molecules.

Does all the electrons in an atom have similar amounts of energy?

If it exists at any temperature above absolute zero, -273C, it must have at least kinetic energy. Near any other charge, which it will be in any realistic consideration, it will also have potential energy.


In which energy level are the electrons with the least energy located?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level can be found using the following formula:Electron Capacity = 2n2The variable n represents the Principal Quantum Number, the number of the energy level in question.


Electrons with the least amount of energy are found were?

These are the external electrons.

What electrons in an atom have the most energy and which ones have the least?

electrons are outside the nucleus of an atom they have the highest energy very near to the nucleus and as they are getting far the energy is decreasing


How many energy levels are occupied in an atom of carbon?

You shouldn't use terms like "outer level", because they're confusing. It could potentially mean at least two things, specified more precisely below. The highest occupied energy level of a ground state neutral carbon atom, the 2p level, has two electrons. The number of electrons in a ground state neutral carbon atom that have a principal quantum number of 2 (the highest associated with any electrons in such an atom) is four.
