<span>These values also increase from the
bottom to the top of a group because the size of the atom decreases, resulting
in a smaller distance between the nucleus and the valence electron shell, which
increases the attraction between the protons and electrons.</span>
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the diagram that completes the question.
Answer:
<u>(B) nonpolar covalent bonds</u>
Explanation:
This structure in the diagram rightly fits the description of a non-covalent bond because there is an equal sharing of electrons of Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl).
<em>Remember</em> too that these elements are in their solid-state, hence the CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) molecules are held strongly together.
