What type of bonds will the element chlorine form?
ionic and covalent
How do you know if an element is a ionic or covelant bond?
If you mean what bond does an element form the general answer is metals form ionic bonds noble gases have great difficulty forming bonds, when they do they are covalent rest of non metals form either ionic bonds with metals or covalent bonds with the rest metalloids form mainly covalent

What bonds does carbon atoms tend to form?
Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.

What could two atoms of the same element form?
both covalent bonds and polar bonds
What kind of element most often forms covalent bonds?
Typically the non metals form covalent bonds. Of course some non metals will also form anions when they react with metals. Some metals can also can form covalent bonds however as their electronegativity is low these bonds are often polar covalent
