Question

Do nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons equally?

Answer 1

Just to retire this question....

Explanation:

...to a first approximation the answer is YES. Homonuclear covalent bonds, i.e. `H-H`, `C-C`, `O-O`, are CLEARLY non-polar given that there can be no question of a difference in electronegativity between the bound atoms, and electron density is equally shared.

And contrast this with polar covalent, bonds, i.e. `H-X`, or `H-O`...where there is substantial difference in electronegativity, and as a consequence we get polar bonds....the which we represent as `stackrel(+delta)H-stackrel(delta-)X`, etc.
