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

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 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.

Hydrogen is a nonmetal and has one electron, so two hydrogen atoms will share their electrons to achieve a full outer shell (two electrons total), resulting in a covalent bond.
