Question
get it? describe the atoms involved in a nonpolar bond.
A non - polar bond is formed when two atoms share electrons equally. This occurs when the two atoms have the same or very similar electronegativities. For example, in a hydrogen molecule (\(H_2\)), each hydrogen atom has the same electronegativity. The electron pair in the \(H - H\) bond is shared equally between the two hydrogen atoms. Another example is in a chlorine molecule (\(Cl_2\)). Chlorine atoms have the same electronegativity, and the electrons in the \(Cl - Cl\) bond are shared evenly. In general, non - polar bonds are common in diatomic molecules of the same element (homonuclear diatomic molecules).
