Question

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are ____________. Covalent compounds have ____________ electrical conductivity.

• A. shared, high
• B. shared, low
• C. transferred, high
• D. transferred, low

Answer 1

The correct option is B shared, low

Sharing of electrons between two atoms during bond formation results in the formation of a covalent bond. Compounds containing covalent bonds have low electrical conductivity because electrons are shared between the atoms and no charged particles are formed, unlike ionic compounds.
