neutral

Atoms have equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons, so they are neutral in electric charge.

Because the nuclei of each h atom contain protons, the electrons in the bond are attracted to the nuclei (opposite charges attract). but because the two atoms involved in the covalent bond are both h atoms, each nucleus attracts the electrons by the same amount. thus the electron pair is equally shared by these?
