MCQ
A covalent bond is likely to be formed between two elements which
  • Have similar electronegativities
  • B
    Have low ionization energies
  • C
    Have low melting points
  • D
    Form ions with a small charge

Answer

Correct option: A.
Have similar electronegativities
a
A covalent bond is possible between Similar and Dissimilar atoms.

Two atoms with same electronegativity or similar electronegativity can form a covalent bond.

For example, $2 H$ atoms combine to form a covalent bond in hydrogen molecule.

Also, one $C$ atom combines with $4 H$ atoms to form four $C - H$ covalent bonds in methane.
