Why do group 4a elements tend to form covalent bonds?
Why does group 4A elements tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds? 
Is rubidium fluoride a nonpolar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
Rubidium by itself is neither ionic nor covalent. When it forms bonds with other elements, it forms ionic bonds.
How are elements put together?
they are put together in bonds; ionic bonds which are metal to nonmetal or covalent bonds which are non metal to nonmetal. Ionic bonds transfer electrons and covalent bonds share electrons
What is the fundamental difference between covalent and ionic bonding?
The nature of the elements in the bond. Elements with a high difference in electronegativity have ionic bonds, elements with a small difference have nonpolar covalent bonds, and elements with no difference (if an atom binds to an atom of the same element) have nonpolar covalent bonds. The more electronegative eleme
Why do elements form ionic and or covalent bonds?
Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to create molecules.
Do ionic or covalent have hydrogen?
Hydrogen is involved in covalent bonds but sometimes also in ionic bonds.
What types of elements are involved in a nonpolar bond?
A nonpolar bond could only occur with covalent bonds, as all ionic bonds are polar. This means that all elements involved in nonpolar bonds are nonmetals.
Is rubidium ionic or covalent?
Rubidium by itself is neither ionic nor covalent. When it forms bonds with other elements, it forms ionic bonds.
Do metalic elements and non-metalic elements form ionic bonds?
These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.

Why do elements in group 4A do not form ionic bonds?
Group-14 elements share electrons. they form covalent bonds.
What is the two main type of bonds?
The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.
Does phosphorus triiodide have ionic or covalent bonds?
I think it's covalent as the the two elements are both nonmetallic.
