why do we call bonding between NH3, CL2, O2 as covalent bond
Answers
IT IS COVALENT BOND...
THE BOND IN WHICH TWO ELEMENTS SHARE THE ELECTIONS..
In covalent bonds, like chlorine gas (Cl2), both atoms share and hold tightly onto each other's electrons. ... Some covalently bonded molecules, like chlorine gas (Cl2), equally share their electrons (like two equally strong puppies each holding both bones).
A triple covalent bond is when three pairs of electrons are being shared between two atoms. An oxygen gas molecule (O2) exists as a pair of oxygen atoms joined together by a double covalent bond. Two pairs of electrons are shared by the two atoms. These four electrons spin around the atoms holding them together.
Beacuse ionic compunds have tendency to donate their electron for the formation of ionic bond. ... It is three single covalent bond, because one valence electron of each of three atom of hydrogen is shared with three electron. Thus leading to formation of three single covalent NH3.
