Carbon has the ability to have four bond sites, however, sometimes, such as in CO2, there are sets of lone pairs where bonding can occur, but has yet to happen.

What kind of bond forms a molecule?
Only covalent bonds form a molecule. Ionic bonds form an ionic compound.
Does gold form ionic or covalent bonds when it forms a compound?
Ionic compounds
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
Why is SO2 not an ionic compound?
The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.
Would Mn and Cl form a covalent compound?
No. Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.

What forms an ionic compound?
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
Which element always form ionic compound and covalent bond?
Metals form generally forms ionic bonds as in salts.Carbon form covalent bonds, for ex.
Why is SO2 not an ionic compound?
The difference in electronegativity between sulfur and oxygen is not sufficient to form ionic bonds.
Is AgI a binary molecular compound?
No, AgI is a binary ionic compound. Silver (Ag) is a metal, and iodine (I) is a nonmetal. Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
What is the elements sodium and carbon form chemical bonds?
they form the ionic compound sodium carbide
Would Mn and Cl form a covalent compound?
No. Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Elements that form bonds by electron sharing would be called?
it is called IONIC compound
Does carbon and oxygen combine to form an ionic compound?
no, they combine using covalent bonds
When a bond is formed using electrons from two different atoms?
This can be either an ionic bond forming an ionic compound, or a covalent bond, forming a molecular compound. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, and covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.
