Group 15 elemnts, N, P, do form ionic compounds, nitrides and phosphides, N3- and P3- ions the heavier elements arsenic antimony and bismuth also form -ide compounds some arsenides are mainly ionic but the antimonides and bismuthides are less so. Wikipedia entries on the arsenides, antimonides and bismuthides are not very good so use a text book!

What type of elements will generally form ionic bonds?
Metals forms ionic bonds.
An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would form which type of bond?
It would form an ionic bond. The atom with 7 electrons is cation and the atom with 1 is an anion.
What is the elements sodium and carbon form chemical bonds?
they form the ionic compound sodium carbide
Elements that form bonds by electron sharing would be called?
it is called IONIC compound
What kind of elements forms anions after ionic bondings?
Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S
Why do elements in group 4A do not form ionic bonds?
Group-14 elements share electrons. they form covalent bonds.
Why do group 4a elements tend to form covalent bonds?
Why does group 4A elements tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds? 
When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
Which of these elements would form an ionic compound with lithium?
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
What type of elements will generally form ionic bonds?
Metals forms ionic bonds.
What compounds does ionic bonds form?
they form elements
Ionic bonds form between what kinds of elements?
Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal.
Which group of elemens lose 2 valence electrons when heir atoms form ionic bonds?
The elements in columns 2 and 12 of a wide form periodic table will lose 2 valence electrons when the elements form ionic bonds. (Some other elements also have or can have this property.)
Do metalic elements and non-metalic elements form ionic bonds?
These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.
Why is group 13 described as the swing group in the periodic table?
Because Group 13 elements form both ionic and covalent bonds readily.
Which atoms form an ionic bond?
Not all ionic bonds are oxidation-reduction reactions. Typically, a metal paired with a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. Ex. Ag+ + Cl- --> AgCl (aq) these atoms are bonded with an ionic bond *All compounds with ionic bonds also have covalent bonding, but to a lesser degree.
What forms an ionic compound?
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
