The two true statements about covalent bonds are:
b. Covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals.
c. Electrons are shared in covalent bonds.
Statement a is false because covalent bonds typically do not occur between a metal and a nonmetal (which usually form ionic bonds). Statement d is also false since electrons are not transferred in covalent bonds; instead, they are shared between atoms.
b. Covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals.
c. Electrons are shared in covalent bonds.
Statement a is false because covalent bonds typically do not occur between a metal and a nonmetal (which usually form ionic bonds). Statement d is also false since electrons are not transferred in covalent bonds; instead, they are shared between atoms.
