When two atoms have similar electronegativity values and neither atom is strong enough to pull an outer electron from the other atom, what is the resulting bond of these outer electrons?

ionic
covalent
hydrogen
metallic

covalent

Explanation:

Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms. It is also defined as the bond which is formed due to the equal sharing of electrons between the atoms.

Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from one atom to another atom.

Hydrogen bond is formed between hydrogen and one of the electronegative elements.

Metallic bond is formed by the valence electrons of the metals.

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
