What best explains whether bromine (Br) or neon (Ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond?

Question illustration
A
Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule.
B
Bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons.
C
Neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron.
D
Neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.

Shameeka is studying for an exam. She took the notes below about calcium and chlorine, which are known to form ionic bonds.Calcium, which is a metal, donates 2 electrons to chlorine.The individual calcium atoms become ions with a negative 2 charge. The bond between calcium and chlorine makes the atoms stable. Calcium and chlorine attract each other. Which best describes Shameeka’s error?

A
Calcium is a metal, so it donates protons, not electrons.
B
The individual calcium atom has a positive, not negative, 2 charge.
C
The bond formed makes the atoms unstable, not stable.
D
Calcium and chlorine repel, not attract, each other.
