No two atoms of the same species boned together are one of the few cases of a completely nonpolar bond. This is because the electronegativity of the atoms is equal resulting in equal "sharing" of electrons.

Why is it that diatomic molecules always form non polar covalent?

They do not. Diatomic molecules containing two atoms of the same elemnt are non-polar, for example Cl2 . When the atoms are of different elents then the bond may be polar depending on the difference in electronegativity, example HCl.


Is CO pure covalent or polar covalent?

Carbon monoxide has a polar covalent bond.


Cl-Cl bond in Cl2?

its a non polar bond non polar bonds exist between two of the same element like Cl2 in this case


When two atoms equally share electrons what will they will interact to form?

Atoms with high electronegativity tend to for covalent bonds.


Does hydrochloric acid contain a non-polar covalent bond?

HCl (hydrogen chloride) has a covalent bond, polar.
