Covalent bonds can best be described as a what of electronts?
The sharing of electrons between atoms
Covalent bonds are best described as a donation swapping loss or sharing of electrons?
sharing
Colvalent bonds can best be described as a donating of electrons?
There are two ways to answer this. The first way would be for a person who is not very familiar with chemistry, and the second for someone who is. First description: A covalent bond can be best described as a bond between to atoms which share electrons. This is different from ionic bonds where electrons are taken from one atom and placed onto another. Second description: A covalent bond is an overlap of electron densities of same sign or potentialities (two bonding orbitals as opposed to antibonding) , which can be described by their orbital wavefunctions. I hope one of these answers suits you.
Covalent bonds can best be dscrided as a what of electrons?
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between elements, electronegativity holds them together
True or false Covalent bonds can best be describe as a swapping of electrons?
FALSE!

Covalent bonds are best described as a donation swapping loss or sharing of electrons?
sharing
Concalent bonds can best be described as a sharing of electrons true or false?
There are two types of chemical bonds, covalent and ionic. Ionic involve the complete transfer of electrons and covalent involve the sharing of electrons.

FALSE!
Convalent bonds can best be described as a of electrons?
A covalent bond is when atoms share valence electrons. Let's assume we see an atom of Hydrochloric Acid, HCl. Hydrogen has one valence, and chlorine has seven. Therefor, the hydrogen gives an electron to chlorine, positively charging it, bonding together to form HCl.
How are the electronegativity values used to determine the type of bond that exist between to atoms?
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons (or electron density) to itself. The bonds you're talking about are ionic, polar covalent and pure covalent. In ionic bonds one atom (the anion) hogs the electrons, so the higher the difference in EN the more likely it is ionic. Salts, eg NaCl, are ionic. In pure covalent bonds the electrons shared are shared equally between the two atoms. The smaller the difference in EN the more likely it is pure covalent. Oxygen gas, O2, shares a pure covalent bond. In between the two exist the polar covalent bonds. Their electronegativity is between pure covalent and ionic. They share their electrons however are slightly unequal. Water has polar covalent bonds. Exact numbers differentiating the three vary from place to place so it is best to ask your professor what they accept.
A chlorine atom reacts with a sodium atom to form sodium chloride, NaCl. A chlorine atom can also react with another chlorine atom to form a chlorine molecule, Cl2. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of chlorine in these two reactions?
A chlorine atom can form ionic bonds by accepting an electron and covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
What best describes convalent bonds?
Sharing of electrons. Generally this involves pirs of electrons forming bonds.
What is the diatomic nitrogen molecule best described as?
triple covalent
How is the electronegativity difference used in determining the type of bond that occurs between two atoms?
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons (or electron density) to itself. The bonds you're talking about are ionic, polar covalent and pure covalent. In ionic bonds one atom (the anion) hogs the electrons, so the higher the difference in EN the more likely it is ionic. Salts, eg NaCl, are ionic.
