Two atoms can form a covalent bond (also called molecular bond) by bonding a non-metal with another non-metal. These non-metals can be found on the far right side of the Periodic Table (as well as hydrogen). When the atoms interact, neither atom is willing to give away its electrons, therefore when the atoms bond together, they share their valence electrons, whereas ionic compounds gain and lose valence electrons.

Two atoms of bromine react with each other to form what kind of bond?

Two bromine atoms will form a nonpolar covalent bond when they react with each other.


Which type of bond will form between two chlorine atoms a polar covalent bond or a nonpolar covalent bond?

A nonpolar covalent bond will form between two chlorine atoms. This is because chlorine atoms have the same electronegativity, so they share electrons equally, resulting in a nonpolar covalent bond.

Which kind of bond is formed when two atoms share electrons to form a molecule?

A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons to form a molecule. This type of bond is characterized by the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration for both atoms.


Why are atoms joined by covalent bond?
