54
Q

two atoms of the same element share electrons, they are shared equally

A

Nonpolar covalent bond

55
Q

atoms of different elements share electrons, the shared electrons tend to be pulled closer to one element than the other (because of electronegativity)

A

polar covalent bond

56

“Electrons shared evenly in the bond
-E-neg difference is zero or less than zero

A

Nonpolar bond

57
