The closer they are to the center of the Periodic Table, the more likely they are to form covalent bonds.

The closer to the edges, the less likely.

What kinds of bonds can carbon atoms form?

A double carbon bond is a covalent bond. Also carbon atoms can form double bonds. Carbon shares electrons with other atoms.


What kind of chemical bond is formed when atoms share electrons?

When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.


What atoms generally form covalent bonds?

Covalent bonds form between non-metal molecules. Covalent bonds come in 2 kinds: polar and nonpolar. If the two atoms bonding have an electronegativity difference of less than .5, then the bond is usually considered nonpolar covalent. If the difference is greater than .5 but less than 2 the bond is usually considered polar covalent.


How many atoms can form up to a single covalent bond?

minimum two atoms are for single covalent bond


Which type of bond will form between two chlorine atoms a polar covalent bond or a nonpolar covalent bond?

A nonpolar covalent bond will form between two chlorine atoms. This is because chlorine atoms have the same electronegativity, so they share electrons equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond.


What is formed when atoms form a covalent bonds?

A compound is formed from atoms. Covalent bond is weaker.


When two oxygen atoms bond they will form covalent or ionic bond by transferring or sharing?

Covalent bond by sharing


Two atoms of bromine react with each other to form what kind of bond?

Two bromine atoms will form a nonpolar covalent bond when they react with each other.


Which kind of bond is formed when two atoms share electrons to form a molecule?

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons to form a molecule. This type of bond is characterized by the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration for both atoms.


Why are atoms joined by covalent bond?

If the electronegativity difference between two atoms is less than 1.7, these atoms form covalent bond by the sharing of electrons.


Can silver atoms form a covalent bond?

No, silver atoms typically do not form covalent bonds with other atoms. Silver is a transition metal and tends to lose electrons to form positively charged ions rather than share electrons in a covalent bond.


Is H2O ionic or covolant bond?

H2O (water) has a covalent bond between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule.
