Question
What two types of atoms make a covalent bond?
- 2 non-metals
- 1 non-metal and 1 metal
- 2 metals
- 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.
