MCQ
In covalency
  • A
    Electrons are transferred
  • Electrons are equally shared
  • C
    The electron of one atom are shared between two atoms
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: B.
Electrons are equally shared
b
The covalency of an atom is the number of electron it shares with the other atoms when forming chemical bonds. Usually but not always, it is the number of covalent bonds it forms with the other bonds.

Example: In $CH _4$, carbon shares its four electrons with four electrons of four different $H$ - atoms to form $4$ covlent bonds. Hence covalency of carbon is $4.$
