nonpolar covalent bond
A nonpolar covalent bond occurs when two atoms share electrons equally because they have similar or identical electronegativities. This equal sharing results in a balanced distribution of electrical charge, making the molecule overall electrically neutral. These bonds typically form between atoms of the same element, like the two hydrogen atoms in an Hâ‚‚ molecule, or between different elements with similar affinities for electrons. Nonpolar covalent bonds are essential for building stable, balanced molecules, and they influence physical properties like melting points and solubility.
