Are Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are?

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.


What is valence electrons shared between atoms?

In a covalent bond electrons are shared between two electrons.


The attraction of an atom for the shared electrons that form a covalent bond between it and another atom is called its?

Electronegativity. It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself in a covalent bond.


What is a covalent bond called in which electrons are shared?

A covalent bond! When the electrons are shared unequally due to a difference in electronegativity between the atoms being bonded it is called a polar covalent bond


In a covalent compound some electrons are?

In a covalent compound some electrons are shared between at least two atomic nuclei.


In which type of covalent bonding are the shared electrons shared congruently throughout the molecule?

In a nonpolar covalent bond, the shared electrons are shared congruently throughout the molecule. This occurs when two atoms have similar electronegativities and therefore share the electrons equally.


What is a pair of electrons shared by two atoms in a covalent bond?

By definition, a covalent bond is a type of chemical bond characterized by the sharing of a pair of electrons between two atoms. If it's only one pair of electrons being shared, then it would be a single covalent bond, two pairs of electrons being shared is a double covalent bond, and three pairs of electrons shared would be a triple covalent bond.


How many electrons shared in a triple covalent bond?

Each covalent bond has two electrons. A triple bond has three covalent bonds. Therefore a triple has six electrons.


What happens to electrons when a covalent bondis formed?

Electrons are shared.


What happens to electrons after a covalent bond is formed?

The electrons are shared


How do you covalent bonds forms?

Energy has to be released for a bond to be formed.


Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are what?

Electrons are shared. they may be shared equally if the elements are nearly equal in electronegativity; a nonpolar covalent bond. Or they may be shared unequally, that is the electrons may spend more time in one atoms orbital than the other atoms orbital(s), if the electronegativity variance is great; a polar covalent bond.
