Solution

The bond is nonpolar covalent.

Here's why:

  1. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

  2. In a nonpolar covalent bond, the electron pair is equally shared between the two atoms.

  3. This equal sharing occurs because the atoms have the same electronegativity, or ability to attract electrons.

  4. If the two covalently bonded atoms are identical, they will have the same electronegativity.

  5. Therefore, the electron pair will be equally shared, making the bond a nonpolar covalent bond.
