Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of bonds equally share electrons?
A
polar-covalent
B
covalent
C
hydrogen
D
ionic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A nonpolar covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally between the two atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -This type of a covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms is called a non-polar covalent bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms and are attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In pure covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally, as one atom exerts a stronger force of attraction on the electrons than the other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. Electron pairs shared between atoms of equal or very similar electronegativity constitute a nonpolar covalent bond (e.g., H–H or C–H), while electrons shared between atoms of unequal electronegativity constitute a polar covalent bond (e.g., H–O).

Detailed explanation-5: -In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are unequally shared by the atoms and spend more time close to one atom than the other.
