The electrons in the covalent bond know which atom they belong to because the electron is a negative atom so it obviously has to attract to the postive atom - the proton/the opposite.

What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atoms to atoms?

A covalent bond is formed when electrons are transferred from atom to atom.


What kind of bond unites the atoms in a water moleclue?

A covalent bond is the type of bond that holds the atoms (two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) together in a water molecule. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable configuration.


What is the covalent bond of CO2?

The covalent bond in CO2 is formed by sharing of electrons between the carbon atom and the two oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom forms a double bond with the carbon atom, resulting in a linear molecular structure.


Is H20 a covalent or ionic bond?

The bond in H2O (water) is a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve stability, while in an ionic bond, electrons are transferred between atoms. In the case of water, the oxygen atom shares electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form a covalent bond.


How many electrons in covalent bonds are attracted to the nucleus of just one atom?

No electrons are "attached" to the nucleus of either atom. In a covalent bond one electron from each atom is shared with the other atom.

Which two atoms in the model form a double covalent bond?

In a double covalent bond, two atoms share two pairs of electrons. For example, in a carbon dioxide molecule (CO2), the carbon atom forms a double covalent bond with each oxygen atom.


Is a covalent bond formed between hydrogen and oxygen atoms?

Yes, hydrogen and oxygen atoms form covalent bonds when they chemically combine.


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+


What type of bond is formed between a carbon atom and an sulfur atom?

A covalent bond is formed between a carbon atom and a sulfur atom. Both atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


Is NO4 an ionic or covalent bond?
