Question

Giving a suitable example, describe the formation of a

Nonpolar covalent bond

Answer 1

1. The covalent bond formed between two atoms of the same element is called a nonpolar covalent bond.
2. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the shared pair of electrons lies exactly in the middle between the two bonded atoms.
3. That means the electron pair is equally shared among the bonded atoms.
4. For example, the bonds formed in $H_2,N_2,O_2$, etc. are nonpolar covalent bonds.
