Question

chemistry i st sci8itis1 9 chemistry i si (lms) 3 - d assessment: chemical bonding (lms graded) periodic table is the following statement correct? figure b of the tug - of - war game best represents a bond in which the electrons are shared equally between bonding atoms. explain your answer

Explanation:

In an equal - sharing of electrons (non - polar covalent bond), the 'pull' on the electrons by the bonding atoms is equivalent. In a tug - of - war analogy, equal sharing would be like both sides having equal strength and the rope not being pulled more towards one side. If Figure B shows an even tug with no side overpowering the other, it represents equal electron sharing.

Answer:

It depends on the details of Figure B. If both sides in the tug - of - war in Figure B have equal strength and the rope is not pulled more towards one side, then the statement is correct. If not, the statement is incorrect.
