Which type of bond forms when electrons are equally shared between two atoms?
A
Nonpolar covalent bond
B
Metallic bond
C
Polar covalent bond
D
Ionic bond
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the types of chemical bonds: Ionic, Covalent (Polar and Nonpolar), and Metallic.
Understand that a covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
Differentiate between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds: Polar covalent bonds have unequal sharing of electrons due to differences in electronegativity, while nonpolar covalent bonds have equal sharing of electrons.
Recognize that a nonpolar covalent bond occurs when two atoms have similar or identical electronegativities, leading to equal sharing of electrons.
Conclude that when electrons are equally shared between two atoms, the bond formed is a nonpolar covalent bond.
