Question 4 • Chemistry

Which type of bond will form between two chlorine atoms?

Answer
A
a polar covalent bond
B
a nonpolar covalent bond
C
an ionic bond
D
a metallic bond

Explanation

Two chlorine atoms have the same electronegativity, so they share a pair of electrons equally. Equal sharing makes their bond nonpolar covalent. A polar covalent bond involves unequal sharing, while ionic and metallic bonds do not describe the bond between two chlorine atoms.
