question
two atoms of the same element are most likely to form ________.
select the correct answer below:
a non - polar covalent bond
an ionic bond
a polar covalent bond
a metallic bond

Explanation:

Atoms of same element have equal electronegativity. In non - polar covalent bonds, electrons are shared equally between atoms due to similar electronegativities. Ionic bonds form between atoms with large electronegativity differences. Polar covalent bonds have unequal electron sharing due to different electronegativities. Metallic bonds are in metals with delocalized electrons.

Answer:

a non - polar covalent bond
