Silicon makes up about 25.7 percent of the earth's crust and can form 4 covalent bonds (just like its more reactive chemical analog carbon)
Since it is composed of one element it can only have covalent bonds.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
An element with atomic number 7 (nitrogen) can make a maximum of 3 covalent bonds, while an element with atomic number 16 (sulfur) can make a maximum of 2 covalent bonds. Therefore, when they combine, they can form a total of 5 covalent bonds between them.
Alcohols have covalent bonds.
In its pure form as an element, antimony (Sb) is a metal, and it therefore forms a metallic bond rather than a covalent bond.
Sulphur has six valence electrons and hence it can form maximum of six covalent bonds as in SF6.
The number of covalent bonds an element can form depends on the number of valence electrons it has. In general, elements can form a number of covalent bonds equal to the number of valence electrons needed to reach a full valence shell (usually 8 electrons). For example, element X can form up to 4 covalent bonds if it has 4 valence electrons.
If you mean what bond does an element form the general answer is metals form ionic bonds noble gases have great difficulty forming bonds, when they do they are covalent rest of non metals form either ionic bonds with metals or covalent bonds with the rest metalloids form mainly covalent
No, oxygen is not formed by polar covalent bonds. Oxygen is an element found in nature, and its molecules are formed by nonpolar covalent bonds between two oxygen atoms.
Polonium is a metalloid element and it can form both ionic and covalent bonds. In general, polonium tends to form covalent bonds with nonmetals, and can also form ionic bonds with highly electronegative elements.
The compound P2O5 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The phosphorus-oxygen bonds are covalent, as they involve the sharing of electrons, while the overall structure involves ionic bonding between the phosphorus atoms and oxygen atoms.
No. A cation is the element becoming ion that donates an electron to an ionic bond( generally metals ). Covalent bonds are shared electron bonds.
