covalent bond
When atoms share electrons, the electrical attraction of an atom for the shared electrons is called the atom's electronegativity. Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons towards itself in a chemical bond.
The pair of electrons is shared to form a covalent bond.
Electronegativity. It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond.
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
In NCl3, nitrogen shares 3 electrons with each chlorine atom, totaling 3 shared electrons between nitrogen and each chlorine atom for a total of 9 shared electrons in the molecule.
When electrons are not shared equally between two atoms, it is called a polar covalent bond. This occurs when one atom has a higher electronegativity than the other, resulting in a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other. This unequal sharing of electrons leads to the formation of dipoles in the molecule.
The region between the nucleus and the electrons in an atom is called the electron cloud.
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons in a bond. Atoms with higher electronegativity values attract the shared electrons more strongly, leading to uneven distribution of electrons in a covalent bond.
A covalent bond is when electrons are shared in bonds.
CH3Cl, or chloromethane, is comprised of a single carbon atom surrounded by three singly bonded hydrogen atoms and one singly bonded chlorine atom. This means there are four pairs of electrons being shared.
The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.
The bond where each oxygen atom shares four electrons with the carbon atom is called a double bond. In a double bond, two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.
