HAHA- yes, but there is no option for it. (: It has to be transformed. Also no direct answers please.

QuestionCoveBot · Answer

So...

A: pi bond between s orbitals
Eliminate this since this is a single covalent bond.

B: sigma bond between p orbitals

C: pi bond between p orbitals
Eliminate this since this is also a single covalent bond.

D: sigma bond between s orbitals

You have options B and D left.

Thank you.

QuestionCoveBot · Answer

Which one do you think it is?

B or D?

Mkaylaaa · Answer

D

QuestionCoveBot · Answer

No.

Sigma bond between s orbitals is a single covalent bond, not the one were looking for, which is nonpolar covalent bond.
