What does it mean when a covalent bond is nonpolar?
The electrons that form the bond are equally or nearly equally as likely to be found at a given distance from the nucleus of one of the bonded atoms as from the nucleus of the other bonded atom.
Why it is difficult to find a completely covalent compound?
It is difficult to find a completely nonpolar covalent bond (which have no ionic character) because in this type of bond, the electrons are equally shared. This only happens when two atoms of the same electronegativity are bonded, which basically means to atoms of the same element. Thus, only elemental molecules such as diatomic chlorine gas have completely nonpolar covalent bonds.
Which molecule contains non polar covalent bonds?
Nonpolar molecules are of two types. Molecules whose atoms have equal or nearly equal electronegativities have zero or very small dipole moments. A second type of nonpolar molecule has polar bonds, but the molecular geometry is symmetrical allowing the bond dipoles to cancel each other.
What happens when a nonmetal combines with another nonmetal?
When two nonmetals combine, they typically form covalent bonds where they share electrons. This results in the formation of molecules rather than ionic compounds. The properties of the resulting compound are determined by the number and types of atoms involved in the covalent bonding.
What is it called and what happens then negative and positive are mixed together?
When negative and positive are mixed together, it is called a neutralization reaction. In this reaction, the positive ions from one substance combine with the negative ions from the other substance to form a product that is electrically neutral.
What happens when atoms form a covalent bond?
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:)
What happens when a nonpolar solute is mixed in a nonpolar solvent?
The nonpolar solute is dissolved in the nonpolar solvent.

How does an atom share electrons?
Sharing electrons occurs when atoms have a covalent bond. Covalent bonds occur between non-metals and there are two types of covalent bonds: Polar and Nonpolar Covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds are when there is an unequal sharing of electrons which causes the atom that occupies the electron(s) more to have a slightly negative charge while the atom that occupies the electron(s) less has a slightly positive charge. Nonpolar covalent bonds basically have equal sharing of the electron(s). Atoms bond because they need to become stable like the noble gases. *find out about the octet rule*
What happens when 1 pair of electrons are shared?
When one pair of electrons is shared, a single covalent bond exists. This bond can be either polar or nonpolar. If the electrons are equally shared, the bond is nonpolar. If the electrons are unequally shared, the bond is polar.
What happens in a synthesis reaction?
two substances combine to form a new substance
What happens to electrons when elements combine?
When elements combine to form compounds, electrons are shared, transferred, or localized between the atoms. This interaction helps to stabilize the atoms by completing their outer electron shells according to the octet rule. In covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms, while in ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
What happens when you combine combine an acid and a base?
You get water and a salt, which is neutral.

How do you identify polar or nonpolar?
Any molecule that has a charge, negative or positive, is considered polar. in covalent bonds, polarity happens by one atom not sharing the electrons equally, so the atoms recieve a charge. Any molecule that contains an oxygen along with a hydrogen is also polar, but if it only contains Hydrogens and Carbons it is non-polar. Enjoy!
