Question

Which pair of atoms will form a covalent molecule?

1 atom of copper and 2 atoms of flouride
1 atom of sodium and 1 atom of flouride
1 atom of oxygen and 1 atom of ion
1 atom of oxygen and 2 atom of hydrogen

Answer 1

Covalent molecules are molecules that have a sharing of electrons occurring between them, and this most commonly occurs between two non- metals. Therefore, 1 atom of oxygen and 2 atoms of hydrogen will form a covalent bond and this molecule is known as water

Answer 2
