Are covalent bonds asymmetrical?

They can be- if the electronegativities of the atoms bonded together are different then the electrons are shared unequally.


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

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.


When atoms share electrons how are they bonded?

covalent bonds share electrons


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.
