Question

In covalent bonds, is it possible for an atom to share both of the electrons?

Answer 1

◆Yes it is possible,
But because the two atoms involved in the covalent bond are both H atoms, each nucleus attracts the electrons by the same amount. Thus the electronpair is equally shared by the two atoms.

Answer 2

But because the two atoms involved in thecovalent bond are both H atoms, each nucleus attracts the electrons by the same amount. Thus the electron pair is equallyshared by the two atoms. The equalsharing of electrons in a covalent bond is called a nonpolar covalent bond.
