Question

Molecules that are made up of two of the same atom have nonpolar covalent bonds. Which statement best explains this property?(1 point) Responses One of the atoms transfers electrons to the other atom. One of the atoms transfers electrons to the other atom. The atoms have the same number of valence electrons. The atoms have the same number of valence electrons. The atoms have the same electronegativity. The atoms have the same electronegativity. No electrons are shared between the atoms.

Answer 1

The statement, "The atoms have the same electronegativity," best explains this property. Molecules made up of two of the same atom have nonpolar covalent bonds because the atoms have an equal or similar ability to attract and share electrons.
