Question

when two atoms with a similar electronegativity share electrons, a(n) ______ bond is formed.
o ionic
o nonpolar covalent
o isotopic
o polar covalent

Explanation:

When atoms with similar electronegativities share electrons, there is an equal sharing of the electron - pair. Nonpolar covalent bonds occur due to equal sharing of electrons. Ionic bonds form when there is a transfer of electrons between atoms with large electronegativity differences. Isotopic refers to atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons, not a type of bonding. Polar covalent bonds form when there is unequal sharing of electrons between atoms with different electronegativities.

Answer:

nonpolar covalent
