If one atom exerts a stronger pull on the electrons than the other, then we have a polar bond.
No, Covalent bonds are when valence electrons are shared between atoms in a compound whereas Ionic is a much stronger bond because the electrons are transferred from one atom to another creating ions which bond to each other
electrons :)
yes, they are shared equally
Think of a single bond, it only shares one pair of electrons. But a triple bond shares three pairs of electrons. More shared electrons means a stronger bond will result because the other atom's positively charged nucleus is even more attracted to the electrons than the previous bond. This increased attraction pulls the nuclei closer together creating a shorter distance between the two atom. The shorter the bond, the stronger the bond because it requires more energy to separate it
It is formed by a pair of electrons shared between 2 atoms. the nucleus of the atoms attract each other, and 2 atoms share a pair of electrons. This is a single covalent bond. In a double covalent bond, 2 pairs of electrons are shared between 2 atoms. 3 pairs are shared in triple bonds.
The missing word is 'ionic'.
Fluorine has a stronger attraction to electrons than any other element, so when it bonds to another element that element is going to either donate electrons to the fluorine, or share electrons with fluorine getting the disproportionate share.

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.
electrons :)
The general location of electrons in a covalent bond is that electrons are shared in pairs between 2 atoms. If 2 electrons pairs are shared, 4 electrons are shared in all. They lie between the two nuclei of the bonding atoms. The shared electrons are typically near the middle of the bond between the 2 atoms, in a covalent bond. They may be slightly closer to 1 atom or the other, due to small differences in electronegativity.
The electrons can be shared equally (covalent bond). The electrons can be shared but one atom provides those electrons and the other provides none (dative or coordinate covalent bond). The electrons can be donated by one and accepted by the other atom (ionic bond).
when protons which are positive and electrons which are negative attract each other
Electrons are shared. they may be shared equally if the elements are nearly equal in electronegativity; a nonpolar covalent bond. Or they may be shared unequally, that is the electrons may spend more time in one atoms orbital than the other atoms orbital(s), if the electronegativity variance is great; a polar covalent bond.
No. That would greatly reduce water's effectiveness as a solvent, as it would be a nonpolar molecule which would only be able to dissolve other nonpolar substances.
Carbon atoms do not gain electrons to form a covalent bond. Carbon atoms form four covalent bonds by sharing its four valence electrons with the valence electrons of other atoms. These can be single bonds, in which one pair of electrons is shared; double bonds, in which two pairs of electrons are shared; or triple bonds, in which three electrons are shared; or a combination of these.
yes, they are shared equally
