When two carbon atoms are joined by a double bond, how many electron pairs are shared between the two carbons

Chemistry
1 answer:
NikAS [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two (2) electron pairs

Explanation:

The sharing of electron pairs by atoms forms a type of bond called COVALENT bond. Atoms that form covalent bonding (share electrons) do so in order to fill their outermost electron shells, hence, gain chemical stability.

However, when two atoms like carbon share TWO PAIRS of electrons with each other, a DOUBLE BOND is formed. An example is the double bond formed in Ethylene (2HC=CH2). A total of four valence electrons (a pair from each carbon) are shared between the two carbon atoms.

To cut this short and for your understanding, ionic bond is formed between metals (mostly right column in periodic table). Covalent bond is formed between non-metals (mostly left column in periodic table). So polar covalent is also a covalent bond but it is polar, which means the shape of molecules are not symmetrical hence maybe an atom in a molecule has most of the electron attracted to it causing itself to be partial negative (since electron are negatively charged) and the other atom has its electron being attracted by others became partial positive. Polar covalent can also be when H atom is binding either to F, O or N (also known as hydrogen bond).
