If one atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the other, then we have a polar bond.

What particle in which electrons are shared unequally?

It's really not clear what you're trying to ask. The answer might be "a polar or ionic molecule."


Which electrons are held with most force?

The electrons closest to the nucleus are held with the most force due to the stronger electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons. These inner electrons have higher energy levels and are less shielded by other electrons, resulting in a stronger force of attraction.


Describe how a covalent bond can involve a sharing of the electrons but still develop charges on the atoms.?

If the electrons in a covalent bond are not shared equally, then one atom gets a partial positive charge, and one (the one where the electrons spend most time) gets a partial negative charge. This is a result of differences between the two atoms in their electronegativity values. This then results in what is referred to as a polar covalent bond.


Which is stronger a Dipole-dipole attraction or covalent bond?

A covalent bond is stronger than a dipole-dipole attraction. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to create a strong bond between them, while in a dipole-dipole attraction, molecules with polar bonds are attracted to each other due to their partial charges.


What are the attractive and repulsive forces involved in a covalent bond and how do their total strengths compare?

In a covalent bond, the attractive force is the sharing of electrons between atoms, which binds them together. The repulsive force arises from the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nuclei pushing against each other. The total strength of the attractive force between the shared electrons and nuclei is typically stronger than the repulsive force, stabilizing the bond.

When one atom has a stronger attraction for shared electrons in a bond than the other atom a----------------- bond is?

polar covalent bond is formed. In a polar covalent bond, the shared electrons are not equally shared between the two atoms and are pulled closer to the atom with the stronger electronegativity, creating partial positive and negative charges within the molecule.

What is the comparison between the possession of electrons in ionic and covalent bonds?

In an ionic bond, one atom loses electrons( becomes more positive) and the other gains the electrons ( becomes more negative) what keeps them bonded is the now positive/negative attraction. In covalent bonding, both atoms share the electrons, but are again held together by positive/negative attraction. Short version: In ionic bond, one element in an ionic bond loses electrons, while the other gains electrons. Electrons are shared equally in covalent bonds.

What bond occurs when a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms?

In H2O the electrons are shared by the oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. Although there are two hydrogen atoms, the electro-negativity (or ability to attract electrons) of the oxygen is greater than the hydrogens, therefore the electrons are pulled greater towards the oxygen resulting in the oxygen becoming "negatively charged" this results in the molecule becoming what is known as a "dipolar molecule". This is what causes water to be attracted to each other as each molecule has a positive and negative pole. Answered by Mason Rawling-Jones (currently 15).


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.


Why covalent bond is stronger than hydrogen bond?

A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms, leading to a strong bond due to the shared electron density holding the atoms together. On the other hand, a hydrogen bond is an electrostatic interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom. The sharing of electrons in a covalent bond results in a stronger connection between the atoms compared to the weaker electrostatic attraction in a hydrogen bond.


What are donated or shared when two atoms form a bond?

When two atoms form a bond, electrons are donated or shared. In an ionic bond, one atom donates electrons to the other, while in a covalent bond, electrons are shared between the atoms.


What causes bonds to stay together?

Bonds between atoms stay together due to the attraction created by sharing or transferring of electrons. This attraction is due to electrostatic forces, where opposite charges (positive nuclei and negative electrons) attract each other. The stronger the bond, the closer the atoms are bound together.
