When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom?
If one atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the other, then we have a polar bond.
How are electrons shared in a nonpoler covalent bond?
Two electrons shared in the middle of two atom-bodies is called covalent, which is the same as 'non-polar'.
Is an ionic bond the same as polar bond?
No. A polar bond is a type of covalent bond in which electrons are shared unevenly. In ionic bond electrons are not shared but completely pulled away from one atom to another.
Describe a polar covalent bond?
In a polar covalent bond, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other.
Hydrogen and oxygen are what type of bonds?
Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.

Yes

If the shared electrons of a molecule are drawn to one atom more than to the other they are said to form a bond?
polar covalent

What happens with the electrons when a covalent bond forms?
The electrons are shared between the two atoms that bonded, combining the total number of electrons in a large electron cloud. In a polar covalent bond, one atom shares, or "attracts" most of the atoms, while in a nonpolar covalent, they are equally shared. Covalent atoms are always only shared, unlike with ionic compounds, which "steal" electrons from the other atom.
When an atom forms a bond what are the 3 things that its electrons can do?
The electrons can be shared equally (covalent bond). The electrons can be shared but one atom provides those electrons and the other provides none (dative or coordinate covalent bond). The electrons can be donated by one and accepted by the other atom (ionic bond).
What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?
If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.
An atom in a polar covalent bond that attracts electrons more strongly is said to have greater what?
Electronegativity ~ "a measure of n atom's ability to attract a shared pair of electrons within a covalent bond"
