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"

If electrons involved in bonding spend most of the time closer to one atom rather than the other the bond is?
polar covalent bond
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 is a coordinate covalent bond?
A coordinate covalent bond is when two atoms have a covalent bond where the two electrons that are shared by the atoms in the bond come from only one of the atoms. This bond does not have any different properties than a polar covalent bond it is just named differently to show that the electrons came from an atom with a lone pair. This occurs when a Lewis base donates electrons to a Lewis acid.
Describe a covalent bond?
Forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. Water is the most popular covalent bond. Oxygen shares two of hydrogens electrons. H(subscript)2O
Is Nitrogen trichloride covalent?
NO2 is covalent. Usually you can tell when a compound is ionic or covalent by the elements it is composed of. A nonmetal and a nonmetal with be covalent, while a metal and a nonmetal will be ionic.
A type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons?
A chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons is a covalent bond. A nonpolar covalent bond is the type of bond that involves the most sharing.

Most often a covalent bond is formed by?
A covalent compound is always formed by the sharing of valence electrons(electrons in the last shell).

This bond does not have any different properties than a polar covalent bond it is just named differently to show that the electrons came from an atom with a lone pair. This occurs when a Lewis base donates electrons to a Lewis acid.
What is a covalend bond?
Covalent bond is bond formed by sharing electrons between two atoms (non atoms in most cases).

The difference between ionic compounds and covalent compounds?
An ionic bond is when one or more electrons are transfered from one atom to another. A covalent bond is when atoms share one or more electrons. The atom Hydrogen would need only 2 electrons but most need 8.
What does covalent bonding involve?
Covalent bonding involves two atoms sharing electrons so that they both have a full outer most shell.
Which statement is most likely to be true of the chemical species that donates electrons to a coordinate covalent bond?
It has a lone pair of valence electrons.
