1. Which of the following best describes a covalent bond?
Transfer of electrons between atoms
Sharing of electrons between atoms
Attraction between oppositely charged ions
Formation of a metallic lattice
2. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the electrons are:
Transferred completely to one atom
Unequally shared between atoms
Equally shared between atoms
Not involved in bonding
3. The ability of an atom to attract electrons in a covalent bond is called .
4. A covalent bond formed by the sharing of two pairs of electrons is called a bond.
