question 9 (1 point) ✓ saved in the bond shown in the image below, the electrons are... shared equally between atoms shared unequally between atoms completely lost and gained tranferred between ions

Explanation:

The bond shown is a covalent bond in water (\(H_2O\)). Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen. In a covalent bond between atoms of different electronegativities, electrons are shared unequally. This is because the more electronegative atom (oxygen in \(H_2O\)) has a greater attraction for the shared electrons.

Answer:

shared unequally between atoms
