Ionic bonds are formed by donating electrons from the electro positive atom to electro negative atom results in the formation of ions so that the opposite charged atoms combine to form a bond(ionic)with release of lattice energy.

What are the covalent bonds?

Covalent bonds are formed between atoms by sharing electrons between them.


What name is given to bonds that involve sharing electrons?

There are two types of chemical bonds, ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds involve the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.


How can atoms combine with other atoms?

By sharing electrons in covalent bonds or by transferring electrons in ionic bonds

Sharing electrons results in a covalent bond.


Covalent bonds can best be described as a what of electronts?

Covalent bonds can be best described as a sharing of electrons between atoms. This sharing creates a stable arrangement of electrons in the outer energy levels of the atoms involved.


Do atoms combine by sharing electrons?

Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.

Covalent bonds are best described as a donation swapping loss or sharing of electrons?

Covalent bonds are best described as the sharing of electrons between atoms. This sharing allows each atom to achieve a stable electron configuration in their outermost shell. Unlike ionic bonds where there is a transfer of electrons, covalent bonds involve a balanced sharing of electrons between the atoms involved.


Is the sharing of electrons in polar covalent bonds equal?

No, the sharing of electrons in polar covalent bonds is not equal. In polar covalent bonds, one atom has a greater electronegativity than the other, causing the shared electrons to be more attracted to one atom, resulting in a slight separation of charges.


What does covalent bonds consist?

A covalent bond involve sharing of electrons between atoms.
