Why dont two potassium atoms form a covalent bond?
Potassium is a metal and metal atoms, including potassium, undergo metallic bonding, not covalent bonding. You can read about metallic bonding by clicking on the related link below.
Carbon bonding is almost entirely hydrogen?
No, carbon bonding is almost entirely covalent bonding between two carbon atoms.
What of kind of bonds are found in water molecules?
hydrogen bonding between H2O and covalent bonding within the H2O molecule
Is metallic bonding between metals or non metals?
between metals
How can you determine the type of chemical bond a substance has?
If you mean ionic, covelant or metallic: Metallic bonding is between 2 metal atoms. Ionic bonding is betwen non metal and metal atoms. Covelant bonding is between 2 non-metals.

What is the difintion of convalent bonding?
Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bonding where atoms share electron pairs in order to achieve a full outer shell of electrons. This type of bonding occurs between non-metal atoms.
In the process of covalent bonding?
electrons are shared between one or more atoms
electrons involved in bonding between atom are?
Electrons involved in bonding between atoms are valence electrons.
What type of bonding occurs between atoms that don't easily lose electrons?
Covalent bonding
What sort of bonding is involved in ammonia gas?
covalent bonding between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms
Explain how atoms from the following types of chemical bonds ionic covalent and polar?
Ionic bonding is based on electrostatic attraction between two atoms; covalent bonding is based on the sharing of electrons between atoms.
What is the weakest bond between two atoms is the?
the weakest bond between molecules is H-bonding. but H-bonding don't exist between atoms,it's an intermolecure force.
What part of the Adam is involved in chemical bonding with other Atoms?
The most important are the valence electrons.The electrons perform the bonding by being shared between the atoms.
What the result of a chemical bond between two atoms from a simulaneous?
The chemical bonding between atoms form a molecule.
Does metallic bonding occur between atoms of copper or chlorine?
Metallic bonding occurs between copper atoms. Only copper is a metal and has the characteristics needed for metallic bonding. Metallic bonding occurs between atoms with low electronegativities (low tendency to attract electrons from other atoms) and low ionisation energies (little energy required to remove electrons from the atoms). The low tendency for the metallic atoms to keep their electrons allow their electrons to be shared between the atoms, which thus become cations. The cations tend to be very closely-packed; they are not repulsed by their similar positive charges, but attracted to the electrons flowing freely between the cations. Metallic bonding therefore occurs between copper atoms, which have low electronegativity and ionisation energy. Chlorine atoms have some of the highest electronegativity and ionisation energy of all elements, and thus do not exhibit metallic bonding.
Carbon bonding is almost entirely hydrogen?
No, carbon bonding is almost entirely covalent bonding between two carbon atoms.
