The type of elements forming a covalent bond.
Answer to Problem 13RQ
The non-metallic elements at the extreme right side in the upper part of the periodic table tend to form a covalent bond.
Explanation of Solution
The atoms of the same elements or the atoms of elements having very less electronegativity difference tend to share the electrons for the bond formation.
They undergo a mutual sharing of electron between them and form a typical bond called a covalent bond. Thus a covalent bond is a type of bond where atoms are held together by the mutual attraction of a shared pair of electrons.
Usually smaller sized non-metallic elements tend to share their electron pair to form a covalent bond between them.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the non-metallic elements at the extreme right side in the upper part of the periodic table tend to form a covalent bond.
