A nonpolar covalent bond is a chemical bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms The electrons are shared equally between the two atoms Nonpolar covalent bond electronegativity scale If the difference in electronegativity between two atoms is 0.4 Read More …
The electrons are unequally shared between two atoms When a chemical bond involves “the sharing of a pair of electrons by two atoms in a molecule”, it is generally called a covalent bond. In a polar covalent bond, the Read More …
