Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed between the atoms having no difference in electronegativity values. For Example:
`Cl_2,H_2` etc..

In this bond, the electrons are shared equally and
`\Delta EN` value is equal to 0.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
