Question

question 8 of 10 what does a nonpolar covalent bond show about the electronegativities of its two atoms? a. the electronegativity of both of the atoms is zero. b. the difference in electronegativities of the two atoms is very small. c. the difference in electronegativities is greater than 1.7. d. the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.

Explanation:

In a non - polar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between two atoms. This occurs when the difference in electronegativities of the two atoms is very small (usually less than 0.5). It doesn't mean the electronegativities are zero or exactly equal, just that the difference is minimal so there is no significant pull of electrons towards one atom over the other.

Answer:

B. The difference in electronegativities of the two atoms is very small.
