What happens to valence electrons in non-polar covalent bonds compared to polar covalent bonds?

In non-polar covalent bonds, valence electrons are shared equally between the atoms involved, leading to a symmetrical electron distribution. In contrast, in polar covalent bonds, valence electrons are shared unequally, causing a partial separation of positive and negative charges within the molecule.


What is a covalent bond called when the outer valence electrons are positioned unequally?

A Polar Covalent bond.


What type of bond shares valence electrons?

Covalent bonds share valence electrons between atoms. In a covalent bond, the atoms involved share electron pairs to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What is the name of the chemical bond that has uneven sharing of valence electrons?

Polar covalent bond


What is a molecule that the valence electrons are shared equally between the two atoms?

a non polar covalent molecule


What happens between atoms in covalent and polar covalent compounds?

electrons are exchanged... ur welcome lol ;-)


Equal shared attraction between valence electrons results in what kind of bond?

A non-polar covalent bond.


What do electrons do for polar covalent?

When the difference of the electronegativities of the atoms is significanct the bond is covalent polar. The electrons are of course shared.


Which particles in an atom are involved in a covalent bond?

In a covalent bond, the electrons in the outer energy levels (valence electrons) of the atoms are involved. These electrons are shared between atoms to achieve stability. The nuclei of the atoms are not directly involved in the sharing of electrons.


Molecules that form when electrons are shared unequally between atoms are called?

Valence electrons


Do all covalent bonds share electrons equally?

In a way. for example, h^2O(water), hydrogen has one valence elctron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons.Both Hydrogens are going to share their one valence electron to turn oxygen into a stable octet(basically let oxygen have 8 valence electrons). and yes they share electrons equally.


What happens to electrons after a chemical bond is formed?

If the starting point are elements then the inner shell electrons (non valence) these orbit the nuclei of the atoms and the formation of a chemical bond does not affect these materially. What happens to the valence electrons depends on the bond formed. In an ionic bond electrons are transferred from say the metal atom to the nonmetal- these electrons essentially "orbit" the nuclei of the cations and anions. They are "localised". When a covalent bond is formed the valence electrons involved are shared between the atoms, they "orbit" both nuclei. When the bond is polar covalent they spend a little more time nearer the more electronegative element. When a "delocalised"covalent bond is formed as in bezene or graphite the electrons orbit a number of atomic nuclei. In a metallic bond the valence electrons are also delocalised (the sea of electrons model) across the metal lattice, but in transition metals there is additional bonding between electrons in d orbitals (the tight bound electrons) and these electrons are essentially localised.
