a) Must include a metal and a nonmetal
b) Must be of different elements
c) Are always of the same element
d) Are always two metals
Need Answer! :(
D) Are always two metals.
a) is for ionic compounds
b) is for nonpolar covalent bonds
c) same as nonpolar covalent bonds
b) Must be of different elements:)
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.
Covalent bonds share valence electrons between atoms. In a covalent bond, the atoms involved share electron pairs to achieve a stable electron configuration.
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.
Valence electrons
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.

A Polar Covalent bond.
Covalent bonds share valence electrons between atoms. In a covalent bond, the atoms involved share electron pairs to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Polar covalent bond
a non polar covalent molecule
electrons are exchanged... ur welcome lol ;-)
A non-polar covalent bond.
When the difference of the electronegativities of the atoms is significanct the bond is covalent polar. The electrons are of course shared.

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.
