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.)
These are covalent compounds formed by sharing electrons.
A covalent bond. Ionic bonds form crystals, not molecules.
