Carbon and oxygen as CO2 ( O=C=O)

or carbon and hydrogen , as CH4

or oxygen and hydrogen , as H2O ( H-O-H)

or nitrogen and hydrogen as NH3

or sulphur and ixygen as , SO2 ( O=S=O)

Are just a few pairs of atoms that form covalent compounds. There are many more pairs. However, as a general rule any pair of atoms from the right of the Periodic Table form covalent compounds.

Metallic elements to the left and centre of the Periodic Table tend to form ionic compounds.

Bond in which atoms share electrons?

A covalent bond is formed between atoms when they share electrons. These bonds are typically strong and are prevalent in compounds like water (H2O) and methane (CH4).


When atoms bond due to the transfer of their outer electrons this is known as what kind of a bond?

convalent bonding


Is the chemical bond that causes silicon atoms to combine called ionic bond?

no its a convalent bond as if it was an ionic bond it would be between a non-metal and metal (most of the time) but also between two ions. Because you are talking about two atoms it means that it is a covalent bond.


What contains a nonpolar convalent bond?

A nonpolar covalent bond is typically found in molecules composed of atoms with similar electronegativities, such as diatomic molecules like oxygen (O2) or nitrogen (N2). In these molecules, electrons are shared equally between the atoms, resulting in a nonpolar bond.


What is true of a convalent bond?

A covalent bond is formed by sharing electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. It is typically strong and found in nonmetal and nonmetal combinations. Covalent bonds can be polar or nonpolar depending on the difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved.


What two atoms would typically for a covalent bond?

For a covalent bond electrons are shared between two atoms.


What type of bond forms from H plus O?

A covalent bond forms when hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) bond together. In this bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


When atoms in a convalent bond have a rather high difference in their electronegavities the bond is saidto be?

When atoms in a covalent bond have a rather high difference in their electronegativities, the bond is said to be polar. This means that one atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly than the other, creating partial positive and negative charges on the atoms involved in the bond.


Is Cl2 a covalent bond or ionic bond?

Covalent. There is no electronegativity difference between two atoms of the same element.


How are electrons shared in a nonpolar convalent bond?

The electrons from one of the atoms helps out by going on to the other atom its bonded to to make a stable atom.....


A bond between atoms in which the atoms share electrons rather transfer them is called what bond?

it's either an ion or a molecule. The correct answer is, Covalent Bond.


How are atoms held together by a convalent bond?

Atoms are held together by a covalent bond through the sharing of electron pairs between them. This sharing allows both atoms to attain a full outer shell of electrons, resulting in a stable molecular structure. Covalent bonds are typically formed between nonmetals.
