Answer 2

Answer: B. a molecule

Step-by-step explanation: Covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

`H_2` is a molecule formed by the sharing of electrons between two hydrogen atoms.

An ion is formed by losing or gaining electrons.

`Na^+:10:[Ne]`

A neutral atom is one which contains equal number of protons and neutrons.

`Na:11:[Ne]3s^1`

A noble gas is one which contains completely filled orbitals.

`Ne:10:1s^22s^22p^6`
