The correct statement that best explains why molecules made up of two of the same atoms have nonpolar covalent bonds is:
The atoms have the same electronegativity.
When two atoms of the same element bond together, they have identical electronegativity, meaning they share electrons equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond.
