A pair of electrons shared by two atoms form a what? a-metallic bond b-double covalent bond c-single covalent bond d-an ionic bond

But I think Neee is right. Answer moocher is the term.

The correct answer is c) single covalent bond.

To understand why a pair of electrons shared by two atoms form a single covalent bond, we need to understand the concept of chemical bonding.

Chemical bonding occurs when atoms come together to form compounds. There are several types of chemical bonds, including ionic bonds, metallic bonds, and covalent bonds.

In the case of a single covalent bond, two atoms share a pair of electrons. This type of bond is commonly formed between non-metal atoms. In a covalent bond, each atom contributes one electron to the shared pair, resulting in both atoms having a complete outer electron shell.

To determine the correct answer, we can eliminate options a) and d) as they mention metallic and ionic bonds respectively, which involve the transfer of electrons rather than sharing.

Now, we are left with options b) and c). Option b) refers to a double covalent bond, where two pairs of electrons are shared between the atoms, while option c) refers to a single covalent bond, where only one pair of electrons is shared.

Since the question mentions a "pair of electrons," it indicates the formation of a single covalent bond. Therefore, the correct answer is c) single covalent bond.

No, this is not Thelma

The answer to the question is,single covalent bond

Lol are you thelma? It seems as if you are not trying to solve the questions at all, attempt them...see what you think. (Lol I just hope you are not trying to get someone else to do your homework)

Anyways...the answer is a single covalent bond.

Ionic bond involves the transfer of electrons, formed by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions.
Metalic bond occurs between metals, it involves electromagnetic interaction between delocalized electrons.
And double covalent bond would have 2 pairs (hence double) of electrons to share.

You should try to research all of this, you can easily find the answers, and you will also learn more...instead of just getting the answer from someone else. Try google its very helpful
