If it doesn't share it;s outer shell electrons. And if it's not between 2 non-metals.
Hope this helps

If there is an ionic compound formed between a metal and a nonmetal, it is not a covalent bond. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, leading to the formation of cations and anions. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

A bond in which atoms share electrons is called a?
The type of bond in which two atoms share electrons is called a covalent bond.
What type of bond will N2 have?
Nitrogen is a non-metal and when non-metals bond with each other, they from covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are bonds where electrons are shared. not only is Nitrogen a covalent bond, but it forms a triple bond due to the valence electrons attraction.
