When atoms share electrons EVENLY
A
Nonpolar covalent bond
B
Polar covalent bond
C
Polar ionic bond
D
Hydrogen bond
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A Nonpolar Covalent Bond is created when atoms share their electrons equally. This usually occurs when two atoms have similar or the same electron affinity. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attraction. This occurs in gas molecules; also known as diatomic elements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polar covalent bonds result when electrons are unequally shared between atoms, while nonpolar covalent bonds result when electrons are more equally shared between atoms. The unequal sharing of electrons is due to the differences in the electronegativities of the two atoms sharing the electrons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The element with the higher electronegativity pulls the electron pair more strongly, and creates what is known as a dipole moment within the molecule. Nonpolar bonds have an electronegativity difference of less than 0.4, and have an equal sharing of the electron pair.

Detailed explanation-4: -(a) The electrons in the covalent bond are equally shared by both hydrogen atoms. This is a nonpolar covalent bond.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because nonpolar molecules share their charges evenly, they do not react to electrostatic charges like water does. Covalent molecules made of only one type of atom, like hydrogen gas (H2), are nonpolar because the hydrogen atoms share their electrons equally.
