A bond made out of two atoms of the same element would be 100% covalent at an instance that the electrons are positioned symmetrically along the central axis. Practically, there are no 100% covalent bonds existing.

No, a bond cannot be 100 percent covalent. Even in the case of a covalent bond, there is always some degree of ionic character based on the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms.
No, it is not possible to have a 100 percent covalent bond. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which means there is always some degree of electron sharing rather than a complete transfer of electrons. This sharing results in a partial overlap of electron clouds between the bonding atoms.
Yes, the bond between two bromine atoms (Br2) is 100 percent polar covalent due to the large difference in electronegativity between bromine atoms, causing unequal sharing of electrons.
The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.
A bond that is less than 5 percent ionic is considered covalent. In covalent bonds, electrons are shared between atoms rather than transferred. This sharing of electrons results in a more balanced distribution of charge between the atoms.
Nitrogen is a non-metal and when non-metals bond with each other, they from covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are bonds where electrons are shared. not only is Nitrogen a covalent bond, but it forms a triple bond due to the valence electrons attraction.
