When Two Atoms are Equally Electronegative,they Will Interact to Form

Question

When two atoms are equally electronegative,they will interact to form
A)hydrogen bonds.
B)van der Waals interactions.
C)polar covalent bonds.
D)nonpolar covalent bonds.
E)ionic bonds.

Accepted Answer

When two atoms are equally electronegative, they will share electrons equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond. This means the electrons are distributed evenly between the atoms, and there is no partial positive or negative charge on either atom, so hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interactions, polar covalent bonds, and ionic bonds are not formed.
