Question

A covalent chemical bond is one in which _____. a covalent chemical bond is one in which _____. outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals electrons are removed from one atom and transferred to another atom so that the two atoms become oppositely charged protons and neutrons are shared by two atoms so as to satisfy the requirements of both atoms electrons from the same atom, but opposite spins, are paired outer-shell electrons of one atom are transferred to fill the inner electron shell of another atom

Answer 1

A covalent chemical bond is one in which outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals.

Further Explanation;

Chemical bond  

A bond is a type of force that is formed between atoms of different through the sharing or transfer of electrons.

Types of chemical bonds.

Covalent bond  

• This is a type of bond that is formed between non-metal atoms. It is formed as a result of sharing electrons between non-metal atoms.
• Outermost electrons are shared between the atoms involved in bonding so as each atom attains a stable configuration.
• When atoms involved contribute an equal number of electrons to the bond formation, the type of bond is known as a covalent bond
• A covalent bond may be a dative covalent bond when the shared electrons come from one atom.

Ionic bond  

• This is a type of bond that occurs between metal ions and non-metal ions. Ionic bond occurs as a result of the transfer of electrons from one metal atom to another non-metal atom.
• After the transfer of electrons, metal atom loses an electron to form a cation while the non-metal atom gains electrons to form an anion.

Polar covalent bonds

• Polar covalent bonds involve uneven sharing of electrons between a non-metal atom and another non-metal atom.
• Electrons spend more time around one of the atoms involved in bonding than the other atom.
• The uneven distribution of electrons or differences in electronegativity between atoms bonded to each other is referred to as a polar bond.
• Examples of polar covalent molecules, S-F, O-F, etc.

Non-polar covalent bonds

• It is a type of covalent bodn in which two atoms share a pair of electrons equally with each other.
• The electronegativity of the two atoms involved in non-polar covalent are equal.
• Non-polar covalent bonds involves non-metal non-metal atoms.
• Examples of non-polar covalent molecules includes; F-F, H-H, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

            A covalent chemical bond is one in which outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals.

Explanation:

                   Covalent bonds are formed between two atoms having their electronegativity difference less than 1.7. In this type of bonding the valence electrons of one atoms forms molecular bond with the valence electrons of another atom. The electrons are mutually shared.

                   Covalent bond can be non-polar as for example formed between hydrogen and carbon atoms.

                   Also, covalent bond can be polar in nature as that formed between hydrogen and chlorine atoms because the chlorine atom is more electronegative and hence attracts the electrons more towards itself making density of electrons less on hydrogen atom.
