A covalent bond is a special kind of bond in witch a pare of electrons is shared by two atoms. The most common ones in the human body is H2O, and in DNA (C221H282ClN82O133P22).

What element forms covalent compounds only?
Carbon is the element tht will form only covalent compound.
Is Oxygen a covalent bond or a ionic bond?
Oxygen is an element. It forms chemical bonds with another oxygen atom, forming a nonpolar covalent bond. It forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals, and ionic bonds with metals.
How many covalent bonds are in the element Sb?
In its pure form as an element, antimony (Sb) is a metal, and it therefore forms a metallic bond rather than a covalent bond.
Which element is commonly found in the earth's crust and almost always forms four covalent bonds?
Carbon.
Does carbon form covalent bonds or metallic bonds?
As a nonmetal carbon forms covalent bonds.
What element forms covalent compounds only?
Carbon is the element tht will form only covalent compound.
Is Oxygen a covalent bond or a ionic bond?
Oxygen is an element. It forms chemical bonds with another oxygen atom, forming a nonpolar covalent bond. It forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals, and ionic bonds with metals.
Which element always form ionic compound and covalent bond?
Metals form generally forms ionic bonds as in salts.Carbon form covalent bonds, for ex.
How many covalent bonds are in the element Sb?
In its pure form as an element, antimony (Sb) is a metal, and it therefore forms a metallic bond rather than a covalent bond.
Which element is commonly found in the earth's crust and almost always forms four covalent bonds?
Carbon.
Does carbon form covalent bonds or metallic bonds?
As a nonmetal carbon forms covalent bonds.
Does fluorine forms ionic or covalent bonds?
Fluorine forms both ionic bonds and covalent bonds, the former being more common.
What element is a polar covalent bond?
No single element can form a bond. Only 2 or more elements can form bonds. Polar bonds occur when there is a dipole moment, or there is asymmetry in the structure. For example, HF forms a polar covalent bond.
What kind of element most often forms covalent bonds?
Typically the non metals form covalent bonds. Of course some non metals will also form anions when they react with metals. Some metals can also can form covalent bonds however as their electronegativity is low these bonds are often polar covalent
What kind of bonds forms when electrons are shared?
covalent bonds
Is rubidium ionic or covalent?
Rubidium by itself is neither ionic nor covalent. When it forms bonds with other elements, it forms ionic bonds.
Is carbon likely to make covalent bonds or ionic bonds?
Carbon typically forms covalent bonds. It is rare for it to form ionic bonds.
