A bond where the electrons are shared equally is called a(an) ________ bond. polar covalent coordinate covalent ionic nonpolar covalent none of the above

Respuesta :

Answer:

nonpolar covalent

Explanation:

Covalent bond is the bond which is formed with the sharing of the electrons between the two atoms which are taking part in the bond. It is generally formed between the atoms with similar electronegativity values.

It is the bond which is generally occurs within non metals as they share electrons to complete their octet.

It is of two types:-

Polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: [tex]CO_2,NO_2[/tex] etc..

Non-polar covalent compound: This compound is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: [tex]N_2,O_2[/tex] etc.The electrons in the bond are shared equally.
