Question

Hydrogen is in Group 1 of the periodic table. Which kind of bond would form between two hydrogens?(1 point)
Responses

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 one hydrogen would transfer its valence electron to the other hydrogen to make a full 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.

Answer 1

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

Explanation: Two hydrogen atoms (both nonmetals) share their single electrons to form H2, giving each atom a duet (2 electrons). Ionic and metallic bonds are not formed in this case.
