Thus, the electrons in the bond are equally shared between the two atoms, and the bonding is covalent. The same will be true of Cl 2, Br 2, I 2, O 2, N 2, and any other diatomic homonuclear molecule (i.e., two-atom molecule with one type of atom).hus, the electrons in the bond are equally shared between the two atoms, and the bonding is covalent.

128 8 The Art and Practice of Research in the Postmodern Era methodologies are less than appropriate for the type of qualitative research that is being attempted. A one-size- ts-all approach is less than appropriate for the messy complexities of qualitative research.ualitative methods were a major tool of such observations. 1 Throughout the history of qualitative research, qualitative investigators have de ned their work in terms of hopes and values, religious faiths, occupational and professional ideologies (Vidich and Lyman 2000, p. 39).
