In a way. for example, h^2O(water), hydrogen has one valence elctron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons.Both Hydrogens are going to share their one valence electron to turn oxygen into a stable octet(basically let oxygen have 8 valence electrons). and yes they share electrons equally.

Materials with bonds share electrons equally while those with bonds share electrons unequally and have a dipole moment?

Materials with ionic bonds share electrons unequally, leading to the formation of positive and negative ions. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, either equally in nonpolar covalent bonds or unequally in polar covalent bonds, which can create a partial positive and negative charge within the molecule.


What are the 2 types of covalent bonds?

The two types of covalent bonds are polar covalent bonds and nonpolar covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds occur when the atoms share electrons unequally, leading to a slight charge separation. Nonpolar covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons equally.


Atoms with electronegativity differences below 0.4 generally form covalent bonds.?

TRUE


Atoms that share electrons have..bonds?

Covalent.


What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?

Covalent bonds are chemical bonds where atoms share electrons. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Covalent bonds can form between two nonmetals or a nonmetal and a metalloid.


What shares electrons equally?

Molecules with nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons equally. This occurs when the two atoms have similar electronegativities. Examples include diatomic molecules like oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2).


What are electrons in convalent bonds?

Atoms share electrons in covalent bonds.


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.


What is a bond which atoms share electrons?

Covalent bonds share electrons.


When atoms share electrons how are they bonded?

covalent bonds share electrons


What are the three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons?

The three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons are covalent bonds, polar covalent bonds, and nonpolar covalent bonds. In covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally between atoms; in polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared unequally leading to partial charges; in nonpolar covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally leading to no charge difference.


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.
