Yes, providing that the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is 0-0.4 A bond between two of the same atoms will be nonpolar because there is no difference in electronegativity. But atoms of different elements can have the same or similar electronegativities, resulting in a nonpolar bond.

∙ 10y agoMost authorities would say yes. A value of 0.5 or is often quoted as rule of thumb for determining wheter a bond should be considered non-polar.

Which type bond is form when two atomS of chlorine share a pair of electrons?
nonpolar covalent bond
Which characterizas the bond formed between two indentical atoms?
Depends. Metal atoms form metallic bonds. nonmetals form nonpolar covalent bonds.
What atoms generally form covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds form between non-metal molecules. Covalent bonds come in 2 kinds: polar and nonpolar. If the two atoms bonding have an electronegativity difference of less than .5, then the bond is usually considered nonpolar covalent. If the difference is greater than .5 but less than 2 the bond is usually considered polar covalent.
When atoms of different elements share electrons they form?
A covalent bond.
Is oxygen polar molecule or non polar molecule?
Definitely nonpolar.A molecule becomes polar if one of the atoms pulls electrons more strongly than another. But O2 is completely symmetrical--it's just two O atoms that are exactly alike. One can't pull more strongly than another, so it must be nonpolar.
How can a molecule be in a nonpolar covalent bond?
A molecule can have a completely nonpolar covalent bond when two atoms of the same element form the bond.
Can two oxygen atoms form an ionic bond?
No, the bond would be nonpolar covalent
Which type bond is form when two atomS of chlorine share a pair of electrons?
nonpolar covalent bond
Which characterizas the bond formed between two indentical atoms?
Depends. Metal atoms form metallic bonds. nonmetals form nonpolar covalent bonds.
Is two carbon atoms polar?
No, Two atoms of the same type will form a nonpolar bond because there is zero difference in electronegativity.
Which type of bond is formed when electronegativity difference is zero?
which type of bond is formed when there is zero difference in electronegativity
Can three atoms form ionic bond?
Only two different atoms with opposite electrical charge can form an ionic bond.
What atoms generally form covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds form between non-metal molecules. Covalent bonds come in 2 kinds: polar and nonpolar. If the two atoms bonding have an electronegativity difference of less than .5, then the bond is usually considered nonpolar covalent. If the difference is greater than .5 but less than 2 the bond is usually considered polar covalent.
Do two carbon atoms form a nonpolar covalent bond?
Yes, the two are the same element and equal sharing of electrons are present
Covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally?
A non-polar covalent is one in which the electrons are shared equally.
Are all covalent bonded molecules polar molecules?
No. Two atoms of similar or identical electronegativity would form a nonpolar covalent bond.
What bond is formed when a chlorine atom comes in contact with another chlorine atom?
A nonpolar covalent bond forms when two chlorine atoms combine to form a chlorine (Cl2) molecule.
