Question

Hydrogen and carbon are most likely to form what type of bond?

ionic
covalent
metallic
polar

Answer 1

do you know about each of these bonds?

Answer 2

yes, but I don't know how to find the answer

Answer 3

now ideally a covalent bond is when two atoms share electrons. it usually involves two non metals.

an ionic bond is between a metal and a non metal. there involves a transfer of electrons. the metal likes to lose electrons so it transfers them to the non metal. the result is both of the elements have a satisfied octet.
