A metallic bond would form because both atoms are metals.
• An ionic bond would form because both atoms are nonmetals.
• 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

The correct answer is: A covalent bond would form because the electron would be shared so both hydrogens have a full, stable shell.
In the case of two hydrogen atoms, each atom has one electron and needs two for a full valence shell. They achieve this by sharing their electrons, resulting in a covalent bond.
