Solution

The correct options are
A Two atoms will form a covalent bond if both atoms do not give up electrons easily.
D Ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity in molten state.
A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons with each other. It means both the atoms do not give up electrons easily. Hence, two atoms will form a covalent bond if both atoms do not give up electrons easily.
Ionic compounds do not have free ions to conduct electricity in solid state. They can have free electrons only in the molten or aqueous state. Hence, they are good conductors of electricity in the molten or aqueous state.
