Question

if two covalently bonded atoms are identical, the bond is
nonpolar covalent.

polar covalent.

dipole covalent.

coordinate covalent.

Explanation:

In a covalent bond, when two bonded atoms are identical, the electronegativity difference between them is zero. This means the electrons are shared equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds occur when there is an electronegativity difference (different atoms), dipole covalent is not a standard term for this context, and coordinate covalent involves one atom donating both electrons (not related to identical atoms).

Answer:

A. nonpolar covalent
