Question

Giving suitable examples, describe the formation of a nonpolar covalent bond.

Answer 1

• If a covalent bond is formed between atoms of a similar element is called a nonpolar covalent bond.
• For example, the bond formed in ${\mathrm{H}}_2,{\mathrm{N}}_2$.
• In a non-polar covalent bond, the bonding pair electron is equally shared between the two atoms.
• Therefore, the shared electron pair is exactly in the middle of the two atoms.
