What bond does The number of bonded pairs of electrons in a covalent bond is called the order?
bond order

order
Pairs of electrons are shared in a bond. The actual number of pairs is called bond order?
covalent
Pairs of electrons are shared in a bond. The actual number of pairs is called bond order.?
covalent
What in a covalent bond equals the bond order?
The bond order is determined by the number of shared electrons between the two bonded atoms.

The bond order is determined by the number of shared electrons between the two bonded atoms.
In order for an atom to be an ion, the number of electrons cannot equal the number of protons?
yes.
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.
What type of bond is ionic and covalent bond?
IONIC BOND: The compound formed by completely transporting an electron or a number of electrons is called an ionic compound, and the bond between the elements of the compound is called the ionic bond. EXAMPLE: NaCl is an ionic compound in which the Na atom donates 1 electron to Cl atom to attain stability and thereby to form the compound NaCl. In ionic bond, generally the metals are the electron donors and the nonmetals are the electron acceptors COVALENT BOND: The bond formed by sharing pair(s) of electrons is called covalent bond. In this type of compound, each of the atom shares equal no. of electrons in order to attain stability. A covalent bond can be of three types: single covalent bond, where 1 pair of electrons is shared between the atoms; double covalent bonds, where 2 pairs of electrons are shared; and triple covalent bond, where 3 pairs of electrons are shared.EXAMPLE:N2 molecule is formed by sharing of 3 pairs of electrons, thereby forming a N-N triple bond
What happens in a covalent bond?
A covalant bond happens only between non-metals, and some metalloids. In a covalent bond, the different elements share their valence electrons in order to achieve stability in electronic configuration. For example, in the covalent bond of carbon dioxide (CO2), each oxygen atom will share 2 of its electrons with the carbon atom, while the carbon atom will share 2 of its valence electrons with each of the oxygen atom. In this way, all 3 atoms will achieve the stable octet structure. Do take note that in covalent bonds, the total number of electrons shared by 2 atoms are usually equal.
How does the atomic number tell you the number of electrons?
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom which is equal to the number of electrons in an unreacted (free) atom. There is no deducing, they just are the same.
How is the octet rule used in covalent bonding?
look for it on the chemistry book, and don't be lazy!Covalent bonding is all about "sharing electrons" so the two elements share electrons (which forms a covalent bond) in order to complete or help complete their octet.
Does the number of protons have to equal the number of electrons to keep it electrically neutral?
Yes: each electron has a total charge of -1 and each proton has a total charge of +1. In order for them all to cancel out (thus making the substance neutral), the number of protons and electrons must be equal.
