Group-14 elements share electrons. They have 4 valence electrons.They neither gain nor loose electron.
Elements like Carbon, Silicon has 4 valence electrons. They are in the 14th group. They do not gain or lose electrons.
Covalent bonds share electrons. Neither atom actually gives up or takes electrons. They position themselves in such a way so that valence electrons are utilized by each of the atoms forming the bond. Examples of molecules which bond covalently are Water (H2O), Nitrogen (N2), and Oxygen (O2)
Ionic bonds are those in which one electron with a low valence number donates its electrons to an atom with a higher valence number, thus forming positive and negative ions, respectively, which are then attracted to one another. (Opposite charges attract.) Table salt (NaCl) is an example of an ionic bond.
I'm pretty sure Carbon is one, but I'm trying to figure out what else myself
The nonmetals form compounds by sharing electrons.

The different groups
Non-metallic properties
Families in the Periodic Table of Elements have the same amount of valence electrons.
Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell
They have the same number of valence electrons which, in general, gives them similar oxidation numbers and other similar chemical and physical properties. The similarities are most pronounced in the groups at either side of the standard periodic table, and are least pronounced for the transition and rare earth elements.
Elements listed in the periodic table of elements are neutral; they do not have a charge. When they undergo chemical reactions they may become charged ions. There is no single most common charge for ions, but the most common are -1, -2, -3, +1, +2 and +3.
Each chemical element has specific chemical and physical properties.
Chemicals in a column, or "group" have similar chemical properties.
In the periodic table, the elements are grouped according to their properties. Elements in a group has an equal number of valence electrons. So the elements in a group have most common chemical properties.
The groups have equal number of valence electrons. The elements in same groups have same chemical properties.
Elements in same column have equal number of valence electrons. so they possess similar chemical properties.
Elements in a group have the same number of valence electrons and hence they have similar chemical and physical properties.
The periodic table contain all chemical elements, placed in a rational order.
It is helpful to organize things by characteristics because you can tell that certain elements are similar. For example if you knew nothing about the chemical or physical properties of (Rb) Rubidium, you could guess it has properties similar to (Cs) Cesium since they are in the same group. The common "Periodic Table" has many interesting forms. Search: "periodic table"

Go grab your periodic chart and you will see that both oxygen and sulfur are in the same group (column). Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
