MCQ
The bond between two identical non-metal atoms has a pair of electrons
- AUnequally shared between the two
- BTransferred fully from one atom to another
- CWith identical spins
- ✓Equally shared between them
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Equally shared between them
d
Bonds between identical, non-metals, are purely covalent due to the same electronegativities of the bonded atoms.
Bonds between identical, non-metals, are purely covalent due to the same electronegativities of the bonded atoms.
Hence, the bonded atoms have a equal hold on the shared pair of electrons, e.g. : $F _2, O _2, N _2$
