Question

A double covalent bond involves two atoms sharing two electrons.

True
False

Answer 1

True. A double covalent bond involves two atoms sharing two pairs of electrons, which means a total of four electrons are shared between the two atoms. However, the statement as written might imply that two electrons are shared, which is not accurate for a double bond specifically. A double bond consists of four electrons in total. So, while the intention might be understood, it's not completely accurate as stated.

To clarify:
- A single covalent bond involves two atoms sharing one pair of electrons (2 electrons).
- A double covalent bond involves two atoms sharing two pairs of electrons (4 electrons).

Therefore, the answer is **False**.
