So according to the question, we have to identify the statement which is true.
00:03
Okay, there are a, b, c, d, e options are given and out of these options, we have to only select the statement which is correct.
00:11
Okay, so we know that in a covalent bond, in a covalent bond, what happens? happens, shared electrons, shared electrons interact with, interact with nuclei of, nuclei of both of the bonding atoms, both of the bonding atoms and lowers their potential energy energy and lowers their potential energy.
01:02
This is true for a covalent bond.
01:05
Now this is same statement given in our option b.
01:09
That means option b is correct.
01:13
Option b is correct.
01:15
Now option a is incorrect because in option a it is said that a covalent bond is formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.
01:23
So in the transfer of electron from one atom to to another ionic bond forms not covalent bond.
01:28
So option a is wrong.
01:29
Option c is also wrong because it says that a pair of electrons involved in a covalent bond is sometimes referred as a lone pair...
