carbon to carbon can make single, double or triple bonds. C2H2 which is acetylene (aka ethyne) has each carbon single bonded to hydrogen, and triple bonded to each other, 3 pairs of shared valence electrons = a triple covalent bond. Pure diatomic nitrogen also has this, with each having a pair of unshared electrons as well.

When two pairs of shared electrons are present a bond is formed?

Yes. Two pairs of shared electrons would form a double covalent bond.


Which kind of bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms?

A covalent bond is formed when electrons are shared between atoms. In a covalent bond, atoms share pairs of electrons in order to fulfill their octet rule and achieve a more stable electron configuration. This type of bond is commonly found in molecules composed of nonmetals.


What Bond formed by shared pairs of electrons?

That would be covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is the transfer of electrons, covalent is sharing.


When two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms a ----------------- bond is formed?

When two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms, a double bond is formed. Each pair of shared electrons represents a bond, so a double bond consists of two pairs of electrons shared between the atoms.

When 2 atoms share a pair of electrons what is formed?

A covalent bond. (Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, or between atoms and other covalent bond)A covalent double bond forms from the sharing of two pairs of electrons (meaning 4 electrons total).


What is the general location of the electrons in a covalent bond?

In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two atoms and are located in the overlapping region of the orbitals of the bonded atoms. This shared electron density creates a bond that holds the atoms together.


How many pairs of electrons are shared in the following types of covalent bonds?

A single bond involves the sharing of 2 electrons (1 pair).


What is d no of electron shared in double covalent bond?

In a double covalent bond, two pairs of electrons are shared between the two atoms. This results in a total of four electrons being shared in the bond.
