Yes, salts do form covalent bonds. Actually, no bond is 100% ionic or covalent. For example, if you consider NaCl, even though it is considered ionic, it has some amount of covalent character in its bond.

∙ 10y agoNope. They're ionic compounds. A salt usually consists of a metal bonded to either a non-metal element or polyatomic ion. This bond features a transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal, and therefore an ionic plus to minus attraction. Covalent compounds feature shared electrons among non-metals.

∙ 12y agoNo as they are a metal and a non-metal joined together so are bonded ionically and are therefore a simple ionic structure.

How may covalent bonds can p form?
It has 5 valence electrons and can easily form 5 covalent bonds.
What type of bonds form within a water molecule?
Within a water molecule is covalent bonds. between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
What atoms generally form covalent bonds?
Covalent bonds form between non-metal molecules. Covalent bonds come in 2 kinds: polar and nonpolar. If the two atoms bonding have an electronegativity difference of less than .5, then the bond is usually considered nonpolar covalent. If the difference is greater than .5 but less than 2 the bond is usually considered polar covalent.
What bonds form when atoms share electrons?
That is a covalent bond.
What types of bonds are there in atoms?
The types of bonds are corporate bonds, junk bonds ,treasury bonds and municipal bonds. There are saving bonds also.
Does plutonium usually form ionic covalent or polar covalent bonds?
As a metal plutonium has metallic bonds. Salts of Pu have ionic bonds.
What kinds of bonds does mercury form ionic covalent etc?
Mercury form ionic salts.
Do salts have covalent bonds?
Salts are ionic. If they contain polyatomic ions,(e.g. NH4+ , SO42-.) There are covalent bonds inside these ions.
Have RbCl and NaCl covalent bonds?
These salts have ionic bonds.
Which compounds do not contain covalent bonds?
Salts do not usually contain covalent bonds e.g. NaCl doesn't.
Do organic molecules form ionic or covalent bonds?
They form both. For example, the standard alkyls, alcohols, acids, amines, aminos, etc. form covalent bonds, but organometallic compounds, salts of acids and amines, and similar compounds form ionic (although still using covalent bonding for part of thir structure).
What type of bond do carbon and sulfur form and how do you know?
They form covalent bonds, because their difference of electronegativities is less than 1.7 and carbon has half filled valence electronic shell, we know that such atoms can not form the covalent bonds. (with exception of acetylide salts)
What kind of food has a covalent bond?
All foods that contain carbohydrates, proteins or sugars have covalent bonds. The only food products that don't have covalent bonds are salts.
What are covalent bonds used to form?
It is used to form molecules and various compounds. In fact, most of the bonds are covalent bonds.

Does carbon form covalent bonds or metallic bonds?
As a nonmetal carbon forms covalent bonds.
Do metals form covalent bonds?
no. they form ionic bonds.
