What kind of chemical bond is formed when atoms share electrons?

When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.


What chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons?

covalent bond,coordinate bond and singlet bond


What is type of covalent bond in which one an atom donates both electrons?

single


What is difference between covalent and co- ordinate covalent bond?

In a covalent bond, two atoms share a pair of electrons, whereas in a coordinate covalent bond, one atom provides both electrons in the shared pair. Coordinate covalent bonds are a type of covalent bond where one atom donates both electrons to the bond.


Is a coordinate covalent bond stronger than a covalent bond?

A coordinate covalent bond is a type of covalent bond where one atom contributes both of the shared electrons. In terms of bond strength, coordinate covalent bonds are typically similar in strength to regular covalent bonds of comparable atoms. Bond strength primarily depends on the nature of the atoms involved and the specific chemical environment.


What is a covalent electron?

In covalent chemical bonds sometimes the electrons are loosely called "covalent electrons" as they are localised.


What is the difference between covalent and coordinate covalent bond?

a coordinate covalent bond is formed by shearing of pair of electron in which one element work as DONNER and give to another element who works as ACCEPTOR and take one pair of electron to form coordinate covalent bond example NH4Cl a covalen bond is that in which mutual shearing of electron is done


Once formed how are coordinate covalent bonds different from covalent bonds?

the co-ordinate co-valent bond is different in that the bonding pair comes from only one of the atoms called the donor atom. The other atom, the acceptor atom, simply accepts the sharing responsibilities. An example of such a bond is as follows: NH3 + H+ ------> NH3--->H+


Why do coordinate covalent bonds differ from regular covalent bonds?

They only differ from regular covalent bonds because both oth electrons come from one atom. In other respects a coordinate covalent bons is simply a covalent bond as both electrons are shared between two atoms.


What are the various types of chemical bonds?

ionic bond covalent bond coordinate covalent bond


How are covalent bonds different from other covalent bonds?

b)a coordinate covalent bond is a covalent bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons, In a coordinate covalent bond, the shared electron pair comes from one of the bonding atoms. Once formed, a coordinate covalent bond is like any other covalent bond


Does h2o contain a coordinate covalent bond?

No. Although the bonds in H2O are covalent, they are not coordinate covalent bonds.
