Which observation would best support that the bond present was a covalent bond?
A) The compound present contains a nonmetal.
B) Carbon and oxygen share pairs of valence electrons.
C) Aluminum is contained in a compound and forms a cation.
D) The valence electrons are involved in the bonding between atoms.

Answer 1

A covalent bond describes two atoms (most likely nonmetals) that share their valence electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals, and they would share electrons with each other through a bond that is not polar enough to be considered ionic. The answer should be B
