Not a lot! Sodium is a reactive metal, nitrogen is an unreactive diatomic gas. Sodium forms compounds where it loses an electron, to form the Na+ ion. Nitrogen forms covalent compounds such as NH3 and ionic compounds where it gains three electrons to form the N3- ion.
Covalent bonds form compounds through the sharing of electrons.
- If you think only to isolated elements all these elements can form polyatomic compounds.- Calcium and sodium form ionic compounds.- H, N, O, Cl can form ionic or covalent compouds.
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
Generally covalent compounds.
we use sodium extract bcz it converts covalent compounds into ionic form..

no, sodium is a metal and metals don't form covalent bonds
"Shares electrons" is a characteristic of covalent bonds, which form covalent compounds.
These are the covalent compounds.
Sodium tends to form ionic compounds.
Sulfur can form both ionic and covalent compounds. For example, sulfur dioxide is a covalent compound whereas sulfides of metals are ionic compounds.
Generally covalent compounds.
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
Calcium cannot form a covalent compound because it is a metal, covalent compounds are formed only from non-metals.
