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

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

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

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

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

In this case, since hydrogen is a nonmetal, two hydrogen atoms would share their single electron to achieve a filled outer shell, forming a covalent bond.
