Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are what?

Answer 1

Electrons are shared. they may be shared equally if the elements are nearly equal in electronegativity; a nonpolar covalent bond. Or they may be shared unequally, that is the electrons may spend more time in one atoms orbital than the other atoms orbital(s), if the electronegativity variance is great; a polar covalent bond.

Answer 2

Shared, because they're bonded together in order for the valence electrons to fill the octet rule.

Answer 3

the electrons are shared equally between two of the same nonmetals. the electrons spend equal time over both atoms.

Answer 4

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.

Answer 5

In a non-polar covalent bond electrons are evenly distributed.

Answer 6

Electrons are shared in covalent bonds

Answer 7

Shared Unequally!! :))

Answer 8

In this case electrons are shared.
