Question
What kind of bonding results from similar electronegativities between atoms?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
When atoms have similar electronegativities, neither atom strongly attracts the bonding electrons away from the other. This leads to the sharing of electrons, which is the basis of covalent bonding.
Hint
A small difference in electronegativity leads to sharing; a large difference leads to transfer.
