The elements that will form a covalent bond here are element B and element C.
- In chemistry, a covalent bond is formed between two elements when their electronegativity differences are very less or small.
- They also form covalent bonds when they are unable to lose or receive electrons in order to achieve a stable state.
- Because the electronegativity gap between group 14 and group 16 elements is smaller, they can form covalent bonds. Consider the elements oxygen and carbon.
- Ionic bonding is common among group 2 elements.
- As a result, elements from groups 14 and 16 will form covalent bonds.
