Question

based on their locations in the periodic table, which two elements are most likely to form covalent bonds with each other?
(1 point)
o potassium (k) and iodine (i)
o nitrogen (n) and oxygen (o)
o sodium (na) and bromine (br)
o magnesium (mg) and sulfur (s)

Explanation:

Covalent bonds form between non - metals. Nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) are both non - metals. Sodium (Na) is a metal and bromine (Br) is a non - metal (they form ionic bonds). Potassium (K) is a metal and iodine (I) is a non - metal (ionic bonds). Magnesium (Mg) is a metal and sulfur (S) is a non - metal (ionic bonds).

Answer:

Nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O)
