What element bonds with neon?
Neon does not bond with any elements.
What are three elements whose atoms are likely to form bonds?
Helium, neon and argon are the least likely elements to form compounds.
What type of element is most likely to gain electrons when it is forms bonds?
metals
What element can act as both an electron donor and an electron acceptor?
Hydrogen, depending upon what element it is combining with, can act either as a metal or a nonmetal. But as a nonmetal it shares electrons in the form of covalent bonds, rather than actually donating them. Similarly, carbon can react with metals or nonmetals but forms covalent bonds. To truly donate or accept electrons is to form ionic bonds, and no element has the flexibility to form ionic bonds both as a donor and as an acceptor. Elements can do one or the other, if they form ionic bonds. Some elements only form covalent bonds.
Which element typically bonds with other elements by receiving only 2 electrons per atom?
oxygen, sulphur
What elements can form covalent bonds with other elements?
This element is carbon.
What element is most likely to form covalent bonds silicon oxygen chlorine or sulfur?
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.)
What element bonds with neon?
Neon does not bond with any elements.
What kind of bonds is the element silicon likely to form?
Covalent bonds are most common for silicon.
Which element is most likely to form three covalent bonds?
Any element that is in group 15 of the periodic table will form three covalent bonds.
What are three elements whose atoms are likely to form bonds?
Helium, neon and argon are the least likely elements to form compounds.

Potassium
What elements bond with fluorine?
the element that fluorine bonds with are nitrogen, oxygen, and many more
What type of elements is most likely to form covalent bonds?
Elements with intermediate electronegativities, such as carbon and hydrogen.
An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity 0f 3.1 which phrase best describes the bond between these elements?
Mostly ionic in character and formed between a metal and non metal
Which type of element is more likely to gain electrons when it forms bonds?
nonmetals
