Explain why a molecule formed by two identical atoms is nonpolar?

This is only true if "diatomic" refers to 2 identical atoms (i.e., same element)
Since 2 atoms form a straight line, the compuond is automatically symmetrical. Also, since the atoms are identical, the pull on electrons is equal, and the electrons are shared evenly. Therefore, since the charges are equal all across the molecule, no poles form. It is nonpolar.

What two identical atoms are bonded together what kind of molecule is formed?
. A linear, nonpolar molecule i just take the test
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.
What is formed when two atoms of bromine bond together?
The diatomic molecule of bromine is formed.
What does a negative Hf for molecule mean?
Energy was released when the molecule was formed from its elements
In a certain molecule a p orbital overlaps a d orbital What kind of bond is formed sigma or pi Explain?

When is a nonpolar bond formed?
A perfectly nonpolar bond is formed by two atoms with identical nuclei, and an at least moderately nonpolar bond is formed between two different atoms with very small differences in their electronegativity values.
Is A Term Used To Descibe An Electrically Neutral Molecule Formed By Covalent Bonds between atoms that have the similar electronegativity?
This is a nonpolar molecule.
Is iodine polar or non polar?
An iodine molecule is formed by two 'I' atoms. It implies that the molecule is symmetrical and it is non-polar.
Are nonpolar bonds formed when two atoms share electrons?
The covalent bonds shared will be nonpolar if the electronegativity of the atoms is close enough to preclude a polar, slightly charged, molecule.
How does DNA replication work?
A parent molecule "breaks" and new DNA strands are formed from deoxynucleoside triphosphates. After the process is complete, the two DNA molecules that form are identical to the base or parent molecule.
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.
How do you get identical and non identical twins?
Identical twins are formed when one fertilized eggs splits. Non-identical twins are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized.
What is the difference between haemoglobin and myoglobin?
in myoglobin, the molecules are compacted but in haemoglobin, the molecule formed by 4 subunits which are identical in pairs. its 4 times larger than myoglobin.
A chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called a(n)?
a covalent bond is when two atoms share a pair of electrons
What type of molecule is formed of amino acids?
