What will most likely happen when two bromine atoms bond together?
the atoms will become less stable.
an ionic bond will hold them together.
a covalent bond will hold them together.
a metallic bond will hold them together.

A covalent bond will hold them together.

Explanation:

There are 7 electrons in the valency shell so they will tend to form a covalent bond  of 2 electrons to obtain a stable configuration.

Answer : The correct option is, A covalent bond will hold them together.

Explanation :

Ionic bond : It is defined as the bond that is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

That means, the atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom.

The ionic bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Covalent bond : It is defined as the bond which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms.

This is usually formed between two non-metals.

As we know that, bromine is a non-metal element. When two bromine atoms will combine together then a covalent bond will form between the two bromine atom. That means both share their one-one electron and form covalent bond.

Hence, the correct option is, A covalent bond will hold them together.
