Choose The 6 Correct Statements.
a
Covalent bonding involves the transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another.
b
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of valence electrons.
c
Covalent bonding occurs between a metal and a nonmetal.
d
Covalent bonding occurs between two nonmetals.
e
In a polar covalent bond, valence electrons are NOT shared equally between the atoms because one of the atoms has a stronger attraction for electrons.
f
In a polar covalent bond, valence electrons are shared equally between the atoms.
g
In a nonpolar covalent bond, valence electrons are shared equally between the atoms.
h
In a nonpolar covalent bond, valence electrons are NOT shared equally between the atoms because one of the atoms has a stronger attraction for electrons.
i
The bond between lithium and oxygen in Lithium Oxide (Li2O) is an example of a covalent bond.
j
The bond between sulfur and oxygen in Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is an example of a covalent bond.
k
Atoms in a polar covalent bond have slight charges because of the unequal sharing of electrons.
l
Atoms in a nonpolar covalent bond have slight charges because of the unequal sharing of electrons.
