Question

which of the following best predicts the type of bond that forms between br and br?
a nonpolar covalent
b metallic
c ionic
d polar covalent

Explanation:

• Nonpolar covalent bonds occur when two atoms of the same element (same electronegativity) share electrons equally.
• Bromine (Br) is a non - metal. Metallic bonds occur between metal atoms. Ionic bonds form between metals and non - metals. Polar covalent bonds form between atoms with different electronegativities. Since both atoms are Br (same element, same electronegativity), electrons are shared equally.

Answer:

A. nonpolar covalent
