Answer:
D. Nonmetals with nonmetals, because of difference in electronegativity is below 1.7
Explanation:
The types of atoms that typically form covalent bonds are non-metals with non-metals because of the difference in their electronegativity which is below 1.7.
In some instances, the difference can even be zero when dealing with homonuclear substances.
- Covalent bond are formed between two or more atoms having low electronegativity differences between them.
- Each of the atoms share their valence electrons to be able to mimic the noble gases.
- The participating atoms will put down an unpaired electron to be used in forming a shared pair of electrons between them.
