Dear joykphukan@gmail.com
Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.
In a homoatomic bond the electrons in the covalent bond are shared between the two nuclei. This means there is no permanent charge separation. This suggest that homoatomic bond will get formed between the some elements of first two rows and halogens.
