Question
When two fluorine atoms bond together in F2, what type of covalent bond do they form?

A double bond, because they overlap orbitals to share two pairs of electrons.
A single bond, because they overlap orbitals to share one pair of electrons.
A single bond, because they overlap orbitals to share two pairs of electrons.

When two fluorine atoms bond together in F₂, they form a **single bond**, because they overlap orbitals to share **one pair of electrons**. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**A single bond, because they overlap orbitals to share one pair of electrons.**
**A single bond, because they overlap orbitals to share one pair of electrons.**
