What occurs when there is an unequal sharing of electrons between atoms?

Part of the Molecule will be slightly negative and the other slightly positive. One example is water. The oxygen atom hogs the electrons leaving the oxygen slightly negative and the hydrogen slightly positive. This makes the water molecules slightly "sticky" and the water molecules clump together. If this didn't happen then water would boil at -120 deg C intead of +100 degrees.

∙ 11y agoWhen there is an unequal sharing of electrons within a bond it is known as a polar covalent bond. This type of bond is caused by one atom having a higher affinity (attraction) to electrons, so the electrons will be pulled towards that atom. This also causes the atom attracting the electrons to become slightly negative and the atom from which the electrons are not being attracted to become slightly positive.

Unequal sharing of electrons occurs when one atom's protons have a greater pull on the shared electrons?
This does occur. The bonds begin to form when electrons from two different atoms begin to interact with other atoms until the two atoms become joined together.
What is the sharing of electrons occurs in what type of bond?
Electrons are shared in a type of bond known as covalent. This type of bond is also considered a chemical bond.
What bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally?
Atoms that do not easily lose electrons form covalent bonds with other atoms. That is, they share electrons.
How does an atom share electrons?
Sharing electrons occurs when atoms have a covalent bond. Covalent bonds occur between non-metals and there are two types of covalent bonds: Polar and Nonpolar Covalent bonds. Polar covalent bonds are when there is an unequal sharing of electrons which causes the atom that occupies the electron(s) more to have a slightly negative charge while the atom that occupies the electron(s) less has a slightly positive charge. Nonpolar covalent bonds basically have equal sharing of the electron(s). Atoms bond because they need to become stable like the noble gases. *find out about the octet rule*
What type of chemical bond occurs between atoms in molecules such as h2 ch4 nh3 h2 cch2 n2 cl2 and many large biological molecules?
covalent bonds --- sharing electrons
What type of molecule forms when two molecules have an unequal sharing of electrons?
When two atoms are bonded together but have an unequal sharing of electrons the newly formed molecule is said to be bound by ionic bonds. This unequal sharing is due to differential attractions of the atoms in the molecule to the electrons.
Occurs when there is an equal sharing of electrons between atoms?
formation of a covalent bond
When atoms combine with other atoms interaction occurs between their?
Interactions occur between their eletrospheres, where their valence electrons are located.
Unequal sharing of electrons occurs when one atom's protons have a greater pull on the shared electrons?
This does occur. The bonds begin to form when electrons from two different atoms begin to interact with other atoms until the two atoms become joined together.
What kind of chemical bond occurs by the equal sharing of atoms-?
A covalent bond occurs when atoms are sharing electrons equally.
Are electrons shared in covalent bonding?
A covalent bond is a bond that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.
What is the sharing of electrons occurs in what type of bond?
Electrons are shared in a type of bond known as covalent. This type of bond is also considered a chemical bond.
What bond occurs between atoms that do not share electrons equally?
Atoms that do not easily lose electrons form covalent bonds with other atoms. That is, they share electrons.
What type of bond shares electrons to fill the outermost energy level?
The sharing of electrons occurs in covalent bonding.
What types of bonds occurs when is an unequal sharing of electrons?
1)Polar covalent bond, e.g- In HCl where Cl uses the electron pair the most that's why it turns into Cl- & H+. 2)Electrovalent bond, e.g- In NaCl (same as above).
Why chemicals bonding occurs .?
Chemical bonds are ionic (electrostatic attraction) and covalent (sharing of electrons).
What type of bonds occurs when Copper is mixed with Gold?
Metallic bonds (the sharing of electrons between atoms of the two elements in an "electron cloud" that fills the entirety of the mixture.)
