Q:

which of the following molecule contains a nonpolar covalent bond?

A) Br2 B) CO2
C) CCl4 D) CO
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Br2

Explanation:

Br-Br.

In Br2, two of the same atoms, pull on each side of the bond is equal making it as non-polar.

The other options all include a significantly more electronegative atom (the oxygens and the chlorine), so those bonds are all polar covalent.

Q:

Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are

A) Transfer of electrons B) Sharing of electrons
C) Dividing of electrons D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Sharing of electrons

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

 

Examples of compounds with covalent bonds ::

HCl, CO2, O2,...
