no. an ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non metal resulting in an ionic compound e.g. sodium chloride. a covalent bond is between two non or more non-metal atoms and a structure such as a giant ionic lattice or a simple molecular structure e.g. H2 will be formed

∙ 15y agoYes, atoms can be held together by covalent bonding. Atoms bond chemically in order to maintain a stable configuration of valence electrons. The first shell can only hold a maximum of two electrons, but after that it must gain eight valence electrons to achieve a stable configuration. A chemical bond is defined as the sharing or transforming of electrons to gain a stable electron configuration among the bonding atoms. Ionic bonding occurs if the electrons are transferred, whereas covalent bonding occurs if the electrons are shared. Atoms are held together in covalent bonding by overlapping their outer shells. The shared electrons are said to provide 'electrical glue' in covalent bonds. Silicon and oxygen are great examples of covalent bonding.

∙ 6y agoA molecule having a covalent bond can have ionic character, and can be partly ionic. There is a continuum between ionic and covalent, and most compounds are a little of each. Even the well known "ionic" compound NaCl has about 25% or so covalent quality.

∙ 6y agoIt is possible for a compound to contain both ionic and covalent bonds. For instance, potassium nitrate with the formula KNO3. Covalent bonds exist between nitrogen and oxygen; an ionic bond exists between potassium and the nitrate ion.

∙ 15y agoNo. Ionic bonds (NaCl) are formed by metals and Hydrogen and Ammonia (i think those are the only two exceptions). Covalent bonds are non metals (H2O).
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoCovalent bonds are nonmetal bonds , ionic bonds are metal bonds.So the ionic atoms form ionic bonds and the covalent atoms form covalent bonds.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Atoms of neon and helium do not form chemical bonds. The other noble gasses; argon, krypton, xenon, and radon can bond, but very rarely.

∙ 11y agoions are formed when atoms have ionic bond between them (not covalent).

What particle is made in a covalent bond?
No particle is made in a bond. A molecule or polyatomic ion is made up of atoms covalently bonded together.
What are polyatmoic ions?
An ion that is made up of more than one atom.
Is mineral oil a ionic or covalent bond?
Oil is made up of hydrocarbons, so it consists of chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to each other.
What is a particle made of covalently bonded atoms?
A molecule, usually.
An ionic compound is a compound that consist of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?
The given statement is not either true or false consistently. An ionic compound can contain atoms that are covalently bonded, as in sulfate and nitrate salts, but it need not contain any such covalently bonded atoms.
What particle is made in a covalent bond?
No particle is made in a bond. A molecule or polyatomic ion is made up of atoms covalently bonded together.
Why is calcium oxide an ionic bond?
Calcium hydroxide has groups of covalently bonded atoms that have either lost or gained electrons. It is an ion made up of two or more atoms that are covalently bonded and that act like a single ion. ~Ayanna~ Your answer doesn't answer the question. ****************** This answer will: The covalent part is between the O-H of the hydroxide. In this instance, O and H always bond covalently. Calcium's bond with the OH, which is a separate subject, is ionic, as in Ca ++ : (OH -) x 2 Almost all compounds involving metals are ionic, so this is typical. That should clear it up
What are polyatmoic ions?
An ion that is made up of more than one atom.
What does molecules and atoms have in common?
Molecules are made out of atoms, without atoms there are no molecules. Charged molecules (ions) will form compounds as elements do, by combining in whole-number ratios with the ions of other elements and compounds.
What formed an ionic bond?
It is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When atoms of different elements exchange an electron (ie one donates one or more electrons to the other), then an Ionic bond between the atoms is made
Is mineral oil a ionic or covalent bond?
Oil is made up of hydrocarbons, so it consists of chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to each other.
Molecular compounds are made up of?
atoms of nonmetals covalently bonded
What is a particle made of covalently bonded atoms?
A molecule, usually.
An ionic compound is a compound that consist of molecules made of atoms that are covalently bonded?
The given statement is not either true or false consistently. An ionic compound can contain atoms that are covalently bonded, as in sulfate and nitrate salts, but it need not contain any such covalently bonded atoms.
How many ions are there in two moles of water?
None. A water molecule is made up of three atoms covalently bonded. Occasionally, however, a water molecule will separate into H+ ans OH- ions.
Is sucrose an ionic bond or a covalent bond?
The bond present in Sucrose is a covalent bond because sucrose is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Chlorine atoms which are all non-metals that share valence electrons; therefore they bond covalently, so that each atom will achieve a noble-gas configuration.
What is a substance with a high melting point in which all the atoms are covalently bonded?
there are number of compounds having covalent bond and high melting point. Most common example is-diamond (Made of C)
