(A)Between identical atomsCorrect
(B)Between chemically similar atoms
(C)Between atoms of widely different electronegativities
(D)Between atoms of the same size

Answer: (A)

Solution

A bond between two identical atoms (e.g. in ) has zero electronegativity difference, so the shared electron pair is perfectly equally shared — this is the
