When two fluorine atoms bond together in f2 the type of covalent bond do they form is non-polar covalent bond.

Explanation

They are two type of covalent bond. that is non polar covalent bond and polar covalent bond.

Non polar covalent bond is formed when atoms share a pair of electrons with each other equally.

polar covalent bond is bond formed when atoms share a pair electrons unequally.

F2 is a non polar since it is made up of two same atoms which has the same electronegativity, therefore equal number of electrons exist in the orbital overlap.
