Chemical bonding is very essential for atoms. Take for example: the element carbon. It contains four valence electrons and needs 4 more to make it stable. In order to do that, bonding is needed.
Covalent bonding is applicable to organic compounds while ionic bonding is for inorganic compounds.
Most atoms form chemical bonds to make a full outer shell of electrons. It enables atoms to gain or share electrons with other elements, which forms compounds.

Carbon, oxygen and nitrogen most often form multiple bonds.

Carbon can bond with itself, and many other elements.
No. The noble gasses will not form bonds with most elements and never bond with metals. Metals form metallic bonds with one another, but this is considered a mixture rather than a new chemical compound.
Bonds are formed between two atoms because that results in a more stable state for the atoms. This is a result of electron configuration where most atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer-most orbital (there are exceptions to this rule, however).
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.)
Carbon, oxygen and nitrogen most often form multiple bonds.
All elements have atoms, but most do not form molecules.
Carbon forms covalent bonds in most types of atoms in most cases.
Covalent bonds. Sulfur has a number of allotrpes the most common has 8 sulfur atoms covalently bonded together to form a puckered ring.
the elements that form covalent bonds are on the right hand side of the periodic table and usually have either 4,5,6,7 electrons in their outer most shell (valence shell). eg carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and flourine. :)
In order to fill their outer most shells and become more stable atoms form BONDS.
The most common form is the single bond, carbon atoms can also form double bonds or triple bonds.
Elements with intermediate electronegativities, such as carbon and hydrogen.
Combinations of atoms from a metal and a non-metal form ionic bonds in most cases.
