A covalent bond is formed as the results of?
Covalent bonds are formed between atoms by sharing their valence shell electrons. In most cases non metals form covalent bonds. Exceptions exist including gaseous sodium Na2 and diethylzinc (C2H5)2Zn.
How are ionic and covalent bonds related?
Ionic and covalent bonds both result in a full outer electron shell.
Which of the following kinds of bonds is formed as a result of the sharing of electrons?
The covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, and the ionic bonds involve only electric binding
Does unequal sharing of electrons in covalent bonds result in polar molecules?
Yes it does.
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

What electron configuration do atoms acheieve by sharing electrons form covalent bonds?
They achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas.

When atoms complete their outer electron shell by sharing electron they form?
Covalent bonds
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 are ionic and covalent related?
Ionic and covalent bonds both result in a full outer electron shell.
How does an atom share electrons?
Sharing electrons occurs when atoms have a covalent bond. Covalent bonds occur between non-metals and there are two types of covalent bonds: Polar and Nonpolar Covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds are when there is an unequal sharing of electrons which causes the atom that occupies the electron(s) more to have a slightly negative charge while the atom that occupies the electron(s) less has a slightly positive charge. Nonpolar covalent bonds basically have equal sharing of the electron(s). Atoms bond because they need to become stable like the noble gases. *find out about the octet rule*
How many covalent bond does carbon form?
Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds as in methane. A covalent bond is formed by sharing of 2 electrons. as in methane 4 electron from carbon forms abond with 4hydrogen atom which donates 4 electron to form 4 covalent bonds
Compare and contrast ionic bonds and convalent bonds?
Ionic bonds are usually thought of as the electrostatic forces of attraction that result from a species "donating" electron(s) to another species, thus resulting in a positively charged ion (cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion). Covalent bonds are thought of as species "sharing" electron(s) with another species, so there's a sharing of electrons and a joining of their electron clouds. However, most compounds are not purely ionic/covalent; there's almost always a certain degree of ionic character and covalent character in every compound and bond.
