What bond occurs when a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms?

In H2O the electrons are shared by the oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Although there are two hydrogen atoms, the electro-negativity (or ability to attract electrons) of the oxygen is greater than the hydrogens, therefore the electrons are pulled greater towards the oxygen resulting in the oxygen becoming "negatively charged" this results in the molecule becoming what is known as a "dipolar molecule". This is what causes water to be attracted to each other as each molecule has a positive and negative pole.

What happends to electrons in a colvalent bond?
Electrons are shared between the atoms that are bonded. If there is an electronegativity difference between the atoms the electrons will be shared unequally.
Molecules that form when electrons are shared unequally between atoms are called?
Valence electrons
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
What is the difference between a polar bond and a nonpolar bond?
A covalent bond in which electrons are shared unequally is polar.The valance electons are shared equally and the bond is nonpolar.
What conditions are the electrons in a covalent bond shared unequally by bonded atoms?
A difference in electronegativity between the atoms causes unequal sharing.
What happends to electrons in a colvalent bond?
Electrons are shared between the atoms that are bonded. If there is an electronegativity difference between the atoms the electrons will be shared unequally.
Covalent bonding is defined as polar when?
electrons are shared unequally between atoms.
Molecules that form when electrons are shared unequally between atoms are called?
Valence electrons
