Question

10 multiple choice 1 point which of the following will form a covalent compound? sodium and chlorine aluminum and nitrogen magnesium and sulfur hydrogen and oxygen

Explanation:

Covalent compounds are formed when non - metals share electrons. Hydrogen and oxygen are both non - metals. Sodium, aluminum, and magnesium are metals. Chlorine, nitrogen, sulfur are non - metals but when a metal and non - metal combine (like sodium and chlorine, aluminum and nitrogen, magnesium and sulfur), they form ionic compounds (due to transfer of electrons from metal to non - metal).

Answer:

Hydrogen and oxygen.
