Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following describes when two identical atoms share their electron pairs and exert force on each other?
A
coordinate covalent bond
B
double covalent bond
C
nonpolar covalent bond
D
polar covalent bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Covalent bonds involve the equal sharing of an electron pair by two atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -A Double bond is when two atoms share two pairs of electrons with each other. It is depicted by two horizontal lines between two atoms in a molecule. This type of bond is much stronger than a single bond, but less stable; this is due to its greater amount of reactivity compared to a single bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer (B) Double covalent bond. A Double covalent bond is formed when two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms rather than just one pair.
