Why like atoms form non-polar bond instead of polar bond?
Amreenakhter2
The difference in electronegativity between th atoms foming the covalent bond leads to the polar nture of the bond. If the atoms are alike then there is NO difference in electronegativity- so - no bond polarity

Is a carbon carbon bond non polar?
Yes. A bond between two atoms of the same element is nonpolar. Polarity occurs when an atoms with differing electronegativity values bond.
Is oxygen polar molecule or non polar molecule?
Definitely nonpolar.A molecule becomes polar if one of the atoms pulls electrons more strongly than another. But O2 is completely symmetrical--it's just two O atoms that are exactly alike. One can't pull more strongly than another, so it must be nonpolar.
Can two different atoms form a nonpolar bond?
Yes, providing that the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is 0-0.4 A bond between two of the same atoms will be nonpolar because there is no difference in electronegativity. But atoms of different elements can have the same or similar electronegativities, resulting in a nonpolar bond.
Is it a polar or nonpolar covalent bond in a molecule of iodine?
molecule of iodine is made up of similar kind of iodine atoms .So there is no difference in the electronegativity. Hence,it forms non-polar covalent bond.
What type of bond if formed when electrons are shared?
Covalent bonding. It can be two types - polar covalent or nonpolar covalent. In polar covalent bonding, atoms do not share electrons equally. In nonpolar covalent bonding, atoms share electrons equally.
If oxygen which has an electronegativity of 3.5 bonds with hydrogen which has an electronegativity of 2.1 the bond between the two atoms will be classified as what polar bond?
nonpolar!
If two covalently bonded atoms are identical the bond is identified as?
it is non polar covalent
Is hydrogen fluoride polar or non polar?
Hydrogen gas, H2, is nonpolar because both hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity, so the difference in electronegativity is 0, which means the bond is nonpolar, and since this is the only bond, the gas is nonpolar.
What is the different between a covalent bond that is polar and one that is not?
In a polar covalent bond the atoms do not share the electrons equally, whereas in a nonpolar covalent bond the atoms do share the electrons equally.
Is SF2 nonpolar?
Yes. SF2 is nonpolar due to the fact that the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms in each bond is 1.4.
Is the covalent bond between chlorine atoms in a molecule of chlorine gas polar?
No. Bonds between atoms of the same element are nonpolar. The electronegativity difference between the two atoms is zero, which indicates that the bond is nonpolar.
Is a covalent bond considered polar or nonpolar?
Both actually. It just depends on the electro-negativity of the atoms bonded together. If both have the same electro-negativity, it is a nonpolar covalent bond. Otherwise, you have a polar covalent bond.
We further separate covalent bonds into polar covalent and nonpolar covalent what would have to be the case for a bond to be a nonpolar covalent?
In a nonpolar covalent bond the difference between the electronegativities of the two atoms are not significant.
Is A nonpolar bond is formed when two atoms share electrons unequally?
No. A polar bond is formed when electrons are shared unevenly. A nonpolar bond indicates even sharing of electrons.
Is a covalent bond considered polar if the two atoms share the electrons equally?
no. A polar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally. A nonpolar bond is a covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally.
Is a carbon carbon bond non polar?
Yes. A bond between two atoms of the same element is nonpolar. Polarity occurs when an atoms with differing electronegativity values bond.
Is iodine ionic polar or nonpolar?
Iodine I2 is covalently bonded and the bond is non polar as the atoms at both ends are identical
