Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Question

The question asks whether electrons are always distributed equally between the bonded atoms of a molecule. This is a True or False question.

Step 2: Analyze the Statement

In a molecule, the distribution of electrons between bonded atoms depends on the nature of the bond. If the bond is nonpolar covalent, electrons are shared equally. However, in polar covalent bonds, electrons are not shared equally due to differences in electronegativity between the atoms.

Step 3: Determine the Correct Answer

Since electrons are not always distributed equally (as in the case of polar covalent bonds), the statement is false.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{False}}\)
