The atom with the greater attraction for shared electrons in the molecule is the more electronegative atom.


What is the attraction of two atoms for a shared pair of electrons that holds the atoms together.?

Sharing of electrons between two atoms is called covalent bonding.


Is an attraction between atoms so electrons are shared a physical bond?

Yes, when atoms share electrons to form a compound, it is called a covalent bond. This bond is a physical connection between the atoms that results from the sharing of electrons in their outer energy levels.

When electrons are shared the type of bonding is called?

Chemical bonds are what form molecules from constituent atoms. When atoms share electrons the type of inter-molecular attraction is called a covalent bond.


Why sharing electrons causes atoms to bond together?

When electrons are shared between atoms, the nuclei of both atoms experience attraction towards the electrons and vice versa. At a certain distance, the attraction is maximal because the repulsion between the nuclei is small while the attraction of each nuclei to the electrons is strong. Thus, the atoms are held together by their attraction to the shared electrons.
