A polar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond in which atoms share electrons unequally. The electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time closer to one type of atom than to the other atoms in that bond.

Three main types of chemical bonds?

The three main types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, and metallic bonds occur between metal atoms that share a sea of electrons.


Onced formed how are cordanite covelent bonds differ from other covelent bonds?

Once formed there is NO difference from other covalant bonds. Coordinate covalent bonds only differ from other covalent bonds because a single element donates all the electrons that are to be shared.


What kind of bond has atoms bond by sharing electrons?

The attraction that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as a?

A bond where electrons are shared is known as a covelent bond. If the electrons are shared evenly (such as Cl2) it is a non polar covelent bond. If one atom has a slightly stronger pull because of a higher elctronegativity value (such as H2O) it is a polar covelent bond. Ionic bonds are when electrons are taken leaving a positive and negative ion.
