Answer:Nonpolar bonds form between two atoms that share their electrons equally. Polar bonds form when two bonded atoms share electrons unequally.
Answer:
Bonding Order = number of bonding electrons – number of antibonding electrons/2.
So for CO2, there is a total of 16 electrons, 8 of which are antibonding electrons.
So 16 – 8 = 8; divided by 2 = 4. So, 4 is the bonding order of CO2. The molecular structure of CO2 looks like this:
..~-~~..
O=C=O
..~-~~..
An electron with greater energy.
I hope this helps :)
