Which of the following would be expected to have ICI has a stronger bond than that in Br2. d ICI has a measurable dipole moment (is polar) and Br2 does not (is nonpolar). c) ICI has a longer bond than that in Br2. b) ICI is a nonpolar molecule and Br2 is polar. Elements want to fill up their electron orbitals, or shells, with electrons, so they will bond with. Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom. Covalent compounds are formed when two or more nonmetal atoms bond by sharing valence electrons.
First of all, to name a covalent compound, it helps to know what a covalent compound is.
