2) both atoms are the same element
3)there is a difference in electronegativity
4) atoms have a different number of protons

Diatomic molecules will be non polar when both atoms are the same element. This is because there is only one charge, and polarity happens when there is one positive and one negative charge. Hope this helps!

Answer: both atoms are the same element

Answer: 2) both atoms are the same element

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. It is also defined as the bond which is formed due to the unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms.

Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms. It is also defined as the bond which is formed due to the equal sharing of electrons between the atoms.  

Diatomic molecules when made up of two atoms of same element will form non polar covalent bond as there is no electronegativity difference.
