Yes. An example of this is the diamond. A diamond is a covalently bonded structure consisting completely out of carbons. The carbons (since it has 4 valence electrons) covalently bonds with 4 other carbons and so on. This is why diamond is so hard, because covalent bond is very hard to break.

∙ 14y agoIn terms of gaining, loosing or sharing of electrons Hydrogen cannot make more than one bond but it also makes a bond with hydrogen in some compounds which is a weak interaction between the two atoms known as Hydrogen bonding.

∙ 11y agoBy sharing its valence electrons with at least two other atoms. Each single bond requires only one valence electron from each of the two atoms that are bonded, so that atoms such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, with more than one but less than seven valence electrons, readily form more than one single covalent bond.
In another sense, atoms such as those mentioned above can also form "more than one covalent bond" by forming the special types of bonds called "double" and "triple" bonds. An atom forming a double bond shares two valence electrons with a single other atom that also shares two valence electrons, and an atom forming a double bond shares three valence electrons with a single other atom that also shares three valence electrons.

∙ 7y agoYes, many atoms make more than one bond. It depends on the number of electrons in the outside energy level of the atom. Oxygen, for instance, makes two bonds, carbon makes four, and many elements can make different numbers in different compounds.

Which type of bond involves a transfer of electrons from one atom to another?
an ionic bond involves a transfer of electrons from the less electronegative atom(s) to the more elect. neg. atom(s) to form charged ions that interact with each other by columbic forces ionic, covalent, polar covalent
Does a ionic bond form when 2 atoms share electrons?
No,a covalent bond is formed when 2 atoms share electrons. On the other hand, an ionic bond on the other hand occurs when one atom takes/steals an electron from another atom and the resulting polarity (the differences in charges) between the two atoms causes them to attract. The atoms will have different charges since the atom that took an electron will be more negative and the atom that gave an electron will be more positive.
What is the bond in the diatomic fluorine molecule F2 called and what else the bond in the hydroxide ion OH- is called?
F2 contains a pure covalent bond, with the bondingelectrons pair right in the middle of the F-F bond.But in OH- the bond is polar covalent, with the bondingelectrons pair more attracted to the O atom than to H.pure covalent; polar covalent
What type of bonding will occur between magnesium atom and a oxygen atom?
A ionic bond will form. Magnesium will lose two electrons and the two chlorine atoms will pick up one atom each. It will become magnesium dichloride (MgCl2). I believe that a polar - covalent bond will form. .3 to1.7 difference in electronegativity is polar covalent. and when you subtract the electronegativity of the two elements you get .5 and that falls in the polar covalent area.
What is the term for a bond in which a pair of electrons is shared equally?
A molecular bond between two atoms where both atoms share the electron equally is called a covalent bond. However, often times, one atom in a covalent bond will have the electron a little bit more than the other atom.
A hydrogen atom does not form more than one covalent bond because it?
Hydrogen can only form one covalent bond because it only has one electron.
Does an ionic bond form when a nonmetal atom transfers one or more valence electrons to a metal atom?
No. If the reaction described occurs at all, it would form a covalent coordinate bond.
What is a bond in which one atom is much more electronegative than the other?
A polar covalent bond because: When two atoms with different electronegativities form a covalent bond, the shared electrons are more likely to be closer to the atom of higher electronegativity rather than the atom of lower electronegativity.
Covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally?
A non-polar covalent is one in which the electrons are shared equally.
Why is it not possible for a chlorine atom to form a double covalent bond?
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and needs one more electron to form octet. Hence each chlorine will form only one covalent bond and not two bonds (or double bond).
How is a hydrogen bond different from a covalent bond?
Hydrogen bonds are electrostatic attractions between a hydrogen atom, bonded to a more electronegative atom of one molecule AND a more electronegative atom of another molecule, but there is no sharing of electrons. In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to form molecules.
If the shared electrons of a molecule are drawn to one atom more than to the other they are said to form a bond?
polar covalent
Which 2 atoms form a covalent bond?
Two oxygen atoms
How an ionic bond differs from a covalent bond?
An ionic bond is formed when one atom donates one or more electrons to another atom. A covalent bond does not involve a transfer of electrons, it involves sharing electrons.
Does the more electronegative atom has a slight positive charge in a polar covalent bond?
No, on the contrary, the more electronegative atom pulls electrons in the covalent bond towards it. This gives it a slightly negative charge overall.
What type of bond occurs when an atom shares on or more pairs of electrons with another atom?
covalent
What is the difference between covoalent and molecular bonding?
There are two type of bonding. 1. Covalent Bond 2. Ionic Bond Covalent Bond: Covalent bond is formed by sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. Ionic Bond: In this type of bonding one or more electrons from an atom are removed and attached to another atom and forms positive and negative ion. These ions attract each other to form an ionic bond.
