Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the type of atoms involved in the bond. In this case, both atoms are bromine (Br).
Determine the electronegativity of bromine. Bromine has an electronegativity value of approximately 2.96.
Since both atoms are the same element, they have identical electronegativity values.
When two atoms have the same electronegativity, the electrons are shared equally between them.
A bond where electrons are shared equally between two identical atoms is known as a nonpolar covalent bond, also referred to as a pure covalent bond.
