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

Question

An ionic bond would form because both atoms are nonmetals.
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 O would be shared so both hydrogens have a full, stable
shell.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

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

Hydrogen atoms (H) each have one electron and can share their electrons with each other to form a covalent bond, allowing both to achieve a full outer shell (two electrons).
