Question

molecules that are made up of two of the same atom have nonpolar covalent bonds. which statement best explains this property? (1 point)
the atoms have the same electronegativity.
the atoms have the same number of valence electrons.
no electrons are shared between the atoms.
one of the atoms transfers electrons to the other atom.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Non - polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared equally between atoms. This happens when the atoms have the same electronegativity. Atoms with the same number of valence electrons don't necessarily form non - polar covalent bonds. In covalent bonds, electrons are shared, so the statement about no electrons being shared is incorrect. Electron transfer occurs in ionic bonds, not covalent bonds.

Answer:

The atoms have the same electronegativity.
