Question

Two identical atoms from Area B bond together. What type of bond will they most likely form

A. Electrostatic
B. Metallic
C. Ionic
D. Covalent

Answer 1

Covalent Bonding

Step-by-step explanation:

If atoms have similar electronegativities (the same affinity for electrons), covalent bonds are most likely to occur. Because both atoms have the same affinity for electrons and neither has a tendency to donate them, they share electrons in order to achieve octet configuration and become more stable.
