Question

HURRY

Oxygen and carbon combine to form different compounds. What type bond is formed between these two atoms?

options:

hydrogen


ionic


covalent

Answer 1

Covalent

Step-by-step explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when two non metals form, which means that's the answer. For the record, for hydrogen bonding Hydrogen obviously has to be present, and an ionic bond occurs between a metal and a nonmetal

Answer 2

C.) Covalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen and carbon are both nonmetals.

A.) is incorrect because hydrogen bonds are only formed between hydrogen and either oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine.

B.) is incorrect because ionic bonds form between nonmetals and metals. In this situation, you have two nonmetals.

C.) is correct because covalent bonds are formed between two nonmetals. A covalent bond will form because oxygen and carbon are nonmetals.
