A metallic bond would form because both atoms are metals.
A metallic bond would form because both atoms are metals.

A covalent bond would form because the electron would be shared so both hydrogens have a full, stable shell.
A covalent bond would form because the electron would be shared so both hydrogens have a full, stable shell.

An ionic bond would form because both atoms are nonmetals.
An ionic bond would form because both atoms are nonmetals.

An ionic bond would form because one hydrogen would transfer its valence electron to the other hydrogen to make a full shell.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

A covalent bond would form because the electron would be shared so both hydrogens have a full, stable shell.

This is because when two hydrogen atoms bond together, they share their single electrons to fill their outer electron shell, resulting in a stable H₂ molecule.
