If two nonmetals with the same electronegativity bond, what type of bond will form? a. metallic bond b. non polar ionic bond c. ionic bond d. non polar covalent bond

If two nonmetals with the same electronegativity bond, what type of bond will form then Non polar covalent bond (option D) will form.

Two nonmetals with the same electronegativity will form a non polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bond between atoms is classified in 3 big groups:

Metallic bond: this type of bond only take place between metallic atoms like Cu, Al, Au, etc.Ionic bond: this type of bond is formed between ions, that means that it is necessary the presence of a cation (ion with positive charge) and and an anion (ion with negative charge) and when the atoms has a very high difference of electronegativity (more that 2), that makes the ionic bond always polar, because there will be always a positive pole (cation) and a negative pole (anion). This is common between a metal and a nonmetal, for example: sodium chloride (NaCl).Covalent bond: this type of bond occurs when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, this happens between nonmetals, e.g.: the molecule of chlorine gas (Cl₂).

Apart from that, depending on the electronegativity difference, the covalent bonds are clasified in polar and non polar:

- Polar covalent bond: the difference of electronegativity is important but less than an ionic bond (between 0 and 2).

- Non polar covalent bond: this occurs when the atoms forming bonds have the same electronegativity.

So, analyzing the statement, if we have two nonmetals it is a covalent bond, and if the two nonmetals atoms have the same electronegativity the bond will be non polar.

Ch4 is nonpolar and insoluble in water. since all of the hydrogen atoms are evenly spread around the carbon atom even through the c h bond is polar all the poles cancel each other out.
