carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities and combine together to form hydrocarbon molecules. what type of bonds form between these atoms?

They form nonpolar covalent bonds.

Because carbon and hydrogen have very similar electronegativities, the shared electrons are pulled almost equally, so the C–H bond is considered a nonpolar covalent bond rather than ionic or strongly polar.
