The element tellurium would be expected to form 2covalent bonds in order to obey the octet rule.Te is a nonmetal in group 6A, and therefore has 6 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 2 electrons. It can do this by forming 2single covalent bonds.

A bond made out of two atoms of the same element would be 100% covalent at an instance that the electrons are positioned symmetrically along the central axis. Practically, there are no 100% covalent bonds existing.
As a noble gas, Neon tends to form no bonds of any kind - so it would be fewest - with ZERO.
In order to form an ionic bond, you need a metal and a non-metal. That would be one element to the right of the stairstep on the periodic table, and one from the left side. If they are both metals, it forms a metallic bond, and if they are both non-metals, it forms a covalent bond. Ionic bonds 'give and take' electrons compared to the 'sharing' of electrons in covalent bonds or the 'electron sea model' of metallic bonds. Ionic bonds are stronger than covalent bonds. They are also more brittle (less maleable) and don't have an odor. (Think gasoline compared to salt - 'NaCl')
The element silicon would be expected to form 4 covalent bond(s) in order to obey the octet rule. Si is a nonmetal in group 4A, and therefore has 4 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 4 electrons. It can do this by forming 4 single covalent bonds.

The element Arsenic would be expected to form 3 covalent bonds in order to obey the octet rule. As is a nonmetal in group 5A, and therefore has 5 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 3electrons. It can do this by forming 3 single covalent bonds.

If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.
double covalent bonds. single covalent bonds.
no
N2 is a Triple bond which would be Covalent
It would form an ionic bond. The atom with 7 electrons is cation and the atom with 1 is an anion.
