    Question

    What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?

    1. 2 non-metals
    2. 1 non-metal and 1 metal
    3. 2 metals
    4. 2 noble gasses

    Hint:

    A covalent bond means sharing of electrons.

    The correct answer is: 2 non-metals

      • Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons.
      • Metals tend to lose electrons and non-metals try to gain.
      • Noble gas has the highest stable configuration, they hold their own configuration.
      • When two non-metals combine they try to gain noble gas configuration by sharing electrons forming a covalent bond.
