Carbon forms covalent bond (in all organic compounds), inorganic bond (in metal carbides) and coordinate bond (in metal carbonyls).Carbon does not form metallic bond or hydrogen bond.
An ionic bond is when one or more electrons are transfered from one atom to another. A covalent bond is when atoms share one or more electrons. The atom Hydrogen would need only 2 electrons but most need 8.
In order to stay stable, nonmetals must share electrons. A metal bonding with a nonmetal is able to stay stable without sharing.
Compounds that are formed from cations and anions, or ions with negative and positive charge. Ionic compounds are also compounds that are formed from a metal and a non-metal.
A covalent bond is typical for compounds between nonmetals.
No it doesn't .. Ionic compounds are formed between a metal and no-metal. Oxygen is non-metal and bromine as well. However they from a Covalent bond.
Sharing electrons

Covalent Bond occurs between two non metals.
A covalent bond is formed. A molecular compound is formed.
Yes. If it bonds with a metal, such as magnesium, an ionic bond is formed. However, it can just as easily form covalent compounds with non-metallic elements like nitrogen.

An ionic bond is formed between two atoms by complete transfer of valence electrons from one atom to another atom but a covalent bond is formed between two atoms by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both the bonded atoms. An ionic bond is a bond formed between a metal and a non metal. A covalent bond is formed between two non metal atoms.
