What types of atoms typically form covalent bonds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago

Answer:

D. Nonmetals with nonmetals, because of difference in electronegativity is below 1.7 ​

Explanation:

The types of atoms that typically form covalent bonds are non-metals with non-metals because of the difference in their electronegativity which is below 1.7.

In some instances, the difference can even be zero when dealing with homonuclear substances.

  • Covalent bond are formed between two or more atoms having low electronegativity differences between them.
  • Each of the atoms share their valence electrons to be able to mimic the noble gases.
  • The participating atoms will put down an unpaired electron to be used in forming a shared pair of electrons between them.

Does a metal conduct electricity in the solid state?
ad-work [718]
Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.

In a shorter term - no
