Among the elements listed, silicon is most likely to form covalent bonds. (Silicon is in the same Periodic Table column as carbon, which is the most likely of all atoms to form covalent bonds.)

Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine why or why not?
No, they form a covalent compound because there is not a great enough difference in electronegativity for one element to completely pull the electrons away from the other.
Why does silicon form covalent bonds?
Silicon is most likely to form covalent bonds because it has four valence electrons and will share electrons rather than give them away.
Do non silicate minerals contain silicon?
Most likely not. Silicate minerals contain silicon in combination with oxygen. However, silicon itself is considered a non-silicate mineral, composed entirely of the element silicon; without the oxygen, however, it IS a non-silicate mineral.
What elements would likely be like chlorine?
No, Chlorate is an ion composed of the elements chlorine and oxygen with the formula ClO3- It is a component of a number of salts that are used as oxidizers. It should not be confused with the Chloride ion (Cl-) or the Chlorite ion (ClO2-)
Why does silicon dioxide not dissolve in water?
silicon dioxide is an extended covalent network. Even amorphous SiO2 contains many atoms bonded together. They large covalent networks are too heavy to be maintained in solution by hydrogen bonds with the water.
What kind of bonds is the element silicon likely to form?
Covalent bonds are most common for silicon.
Is the element silicon likely to form ionic or covalent bonds. why?
Silicon is an element in group 14. It has four valence electrons. Silicon tends to share electrons rather than releasing or obtaining four electrons (which needs tremendous energy). Hence it forms covalent bonds.
Which of these elements are most likely to form covalent bonds silicon oxygen chlorine or sulfur?
silcon has the lowest electronegtaivity so would most likely form covalent bonds. Sulfur is next (although with group1 and 2 metals it forms ionic compounds) oxygen and chlorine have high electronegativites so form many ionic compounds - however they also form covalent compunds as well.
What is the chemical bond for silicon dioxide?
Silicon is a chemical element that has atomic number 14, symbolize as Si and less reactive because it is a tetravalent metalloid. It belongs to the covalent bond because it is unlikely to make an Ionic bond with the other elements.
Is chlorine more likely to be a metal or a nonmetal?
Chlorine is definitely a non metallic element.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine why or why not?
No, they form a covalent compound because there is not a great enough difference in electronegativity for one element to completely pull the electrons away from the other.
An element that is a very reactive gas is most likely a member of the what?
Chlorine is the most reactive gas element. Chlorine is in the halogen family.
Which element is most likely to form three covalent bonds?
Any element that is in group 15 of the periodic table will form three covalent bonds.
What are likely to form a covalent bond aluminum and oxygen sulphur and oxygen magnesium and chlorine copper and copper?
Sulfur oxides are covalent compounds.
Which element will most likely form covalent bonds with fluorine?
Potassium
What chemical element are computer processors made of?
Sounds like a crossword clue, to which the answer is most likely Silicon. Nowadays silicon is becoming old hat.
Which element mostly likely combined with the alkaline metal?
For example chlorine.
