Nonmetals will readily form these bonds with other nonmetals in order to obtain stability. Valence electrons - Correct Answer The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom Sigma bond - Correct Answer The first covalent bond between nonmetals Pi bond - Correct Answer Each additional covalent bond between non-metals after a sigma bond; much weaker than sigma bonds. Nonpolar covalent bond - Correct Answer Created when atoms share their electrons equally; usually occurs when two atoms have similar or the same electron affinity. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attraction; normally the difference in electronegativity is >0.4. Polar covalent bond - Correct Answer Occurs when the electrons between atoms are not equally shared. The atom with the higher electronegativity will have a stronger pull for electrons, resulting in the molecule having a slightly positive side and a slightly negative side. Normally the difference in electronegativity is between 0.4 and 1.7.
