Lewis structure diagrams use lines to show shared electrons.


Which electrons are shared in molecules?

In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.


What is the difference between a shared pair and unshared pair of electrons?

A shared pair of electrons are two electrons in a covalent bond that alternate between atoms; one electron from one atom and one electron from the other atom. If you were to draw a dot diagram, two dots (standing for electrons) would be between the two atoms, one for each atom. Unshared pairs are two electrons that are not involved in a bond and have already filled their shells. In a dot diagram there would be two electrons paired together on one side of an atom, but not shown to be part of the bond.


In a double covalent bond how many electrons does each electron share and how many total electrons are shared?

Two electrons from each element are shared; the total is four electrons.

In a covalent bond electrons are shared.


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.

What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?

Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
