Question

What is a nonpolar covalent bond?
Options
A Covalent bonding with unequal sharing of electrons
B Complete transfer of electrons between atoms
C Covalent bonding with equal sharing of electrons
Correct Answer
D Bonding that only occurs in ionic compounds
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A nonpolar covalent bond is a type of covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally between atoms. This occurs when the bonded atoms have identical or very similar electronegativities, such as in H₂, Cl₂, or O₂.

Hint

Nonpolar bonds have no charge separation due to equal sharing.
