A chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms

Answer:

Covalent bond is the type of interaction that is occur by the sharing of electrons pair between the atoms.

Chemical bonding:

“Interactions that account for the association of atoms into molecules, ions, crystals, and other species are called chemical bonding”

Explanation:

A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds.  

Types of chemical bonding:

1. Ionic bonding

2. Covalent bonding

3. Coordinate covalent bond/ Dipolar bonding

4. Metallic bonding

5. Intermolecular bonding

On the basis of the strength of chemical bond there are two types of bonding interactions;

• Primary bonding interactions (Strong bonding interactions)

(Ionic bond, Covalent bond and Metallic bond)

• Secondary bonding interactions (weak bonding interactions)

(Dipole-dipole interaction, London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding)

Covalent Bonding

“Covalent bonding is a type of bonding, in which two or more atoms share valence electrons more or less equally”

 Types of covalent bonding

1. Single covalent bond

2. Double covalent bond

3. Triple covalent bond

The simplest and most common type is a single bond in which two atoms share two electrons. Other types include the double bond, the triple bond, one- and three-electron bonds, the three-center two-electron bond and three-center four-electron bond.

4. Polar covalent bond  

5. Non-Polar covalent bond

Polar covalent bond

A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond with a significant ionic character. This means that the two shared electrons are closer to one of the atoms than the other, creating an imbalance of charge. Such bonds occur between two atoms with moderately different electronegativities and give rise to dipole–dipole interactions. The electronegativity difference between the two atoms in these bonds is 0.3 to 1.7.

Non-Polar covalent bond

In nonpolar covalent bonds, the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms is small, typically 0 to 0.3. Bonds within most organic compounds are described as covalent.  

Molecules which are formed primarily from non-polar covalent bonds are often immiscible in water or other polar solvents, but much more soluble in non-polar solvents such as hexane.

Which is an example of an object increasing its kinetic energy
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer to this question is the A choice. A rocket before launch.

Explanation:

In the definition of kinetic energy, it says: In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

In order for matter or energy to be conserved, one must have a ____ system.
Leya [2.2K]
Closed system.  If the system is not closed, matter or energy can escape from the system.  an example of this is if you react magnesium and hydrochloric acid in a open system.  The H₂ gas is going to escape making it look like some of the mass disappeared .  in that same reaction some in an open system will also loose heat to the surrounding which will make it look like less heat was produced.

In which mutation does one base take the place of another?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: A substitution is a mutation that exchanges one base for another (i.e., a change in a single "chemical letter" such as switching an A to a G). Such a substitution could: change a codon to one that encodes a different amino acid and cause a small change in the protein produced.

Explanation: I know this is correct just trust me and please mark me as brainiest.
