There should be less than four electrons for atoms to form covalent bonds.

is the chloride of a metal . State the formula of the sulphate and the hydroxide of the metal .

Type 1: Subjective Numerical

Assertion. The atoms in a covalent molecule are said to share electrons, yet some covalent molecules are polar.
Reason. In a polar covalent molecule, the shared electrons spend more time than average near one of the atoms

Assertion. When two hydrogen atoms approach each other to form a covalent bond, nearly of energy is released.
Reason. When two atoms approach each other to form a covalent bond between them, potential energy of the system continuously decreases.

Among the following, select the correct statement(s) about covalent compounds.

The formation of a chemical bond is accompanied with decrease in:

Total number of electron pairs shared by nitrogen atoms in the molecule is?

During a coordinate bond formation,

In a covalent bond formation:
