The electronegativities of two atoms are equal :)
In a nonpolar covalent bond the difference between the electronegativities of the two atoms are not significant.
Nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
The electronegativities of two atoms joined by a nonpolar covalent must be exactly or nearly equal.
The bond is polar covalent- the diffference in electronegativities is 0.65.

These atoms have a very similar electronegativity.

This would be a nonpolar covalent bond.
The difference between the electronegativities of the atoms is near zero.
The only time that electrons will be shared equally is when the covalent bond is between two atoms of the same element. The reason for this is that electronegativities differ between each element, and if two elements with a covalent bond have different electronegativities then the electrons will be held more strongly by the element with the higher electronegativity.
Covalent. Nonpolar covalent. Nitrogen and chlorine have very similar electronegativities. Therefore the electron will be shared equally between them and the bond will be nonpolar covalent. The larger the difference between the electronegativities the more polar the bond.
The bond is polar covalent- the diffference in electronegativities is 0.65.
No. Ionic bonds are ionic, in which the difference of electronegativities between the atoms forming the bond are greater than 1.7. Nonpolar bonds are covalent bonds in which the difference of electronegativities of the atoms forming the bond is less than 0.5.
Ionic bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is over 2.Covalent polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is under 2.Covalent non-polar bond: the difference between electronegativities of the atoms is cca. zero
