Is a covalent bond neutral?
Molecules can be polar or non-polar; bonds are what hold molecules together, but they are not in themselves polar or non-polar. I should point out that the most famous polar molecule in the world, the water molecule, does have covalent bonds.
Which bond pair does not have a polar covalent bond?
A polar covalent bond is a bond between two nonmetal atoms with different electronegativity's. Technically, only a bond between identical nonmetal atoms would be truly nonpolar, but in most cases a threshold is set for electronegativity difference to be considered polar.
Where do electrons spend most of their time in covalent bond?
In a polar covalent bond, they spend more time closer to the more electronegative atom. In a non polar bond the spend their time mainly between the atoms showing no "favouritism"
What kind of chemical bond is an insulator most likely to have?
covalent bonds
What bond is formed when two atoms share electrons?
A covalent bond. A polar covalent bond when the sharing is not equal due to the difference in electronegativity. Water is polar covalent because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, so the electrons spend more time in the orbital region around the oxygen. This fives a slightly negative charge to the oxygen end and a slightly positive charge to the hydrogen end in this neutral molecule.
What chemical bond store the most energy?
A covalent bond. Non-polar covalent is stronger than polar covalent as well.
What is the most common bond in a lipid?
a non-polar covalent bond
What covalent bond is most polar?
A good candidate would be the bond in HF.

What covalent bonds is the most polar hydrogen and fluorine or hydrogen and nitrogen?
Electronegativity Difference HF = 1.9 = ionic bond HC = 0.4 = nonpolar covalent HH = 0 = nonpolar covalent HN = 0.9 = polar covalent HN is the more polar bond. HF is not polar covalent, it is ionic.

When different atoms share their utter most electrons?
A covalent (polar or non-polar) bond is formed
Is fluorine and iodine a most likely pair to form a ionic compound?
No, they are both halogens and nonmetals with a electronegativity too close together to form an ionic bond. They, if ever bonded, would form a covalent, or polar covalent bond.
Where do electrons spend most of their time in covalent bond?
In a polar covalent bond, they spend more time closer to the more electronegative atom. In a non polar bond the spend their time mainly between the atoms showing no "favouritism"

What element is most likely to form covalent bonding?
Me and your mum because we share a bond.
