No. The nonmetal will take the electron from the metal, which makes this an ionic bond - not a "sharing" covalent bond.

Which group of elements shares charactaristics of both metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids
What is an element that shares the properties of metals and nonmetals?
An element that has properties of both metals and non-metals is called Metalloid. Example is Germanium.
Do metals receive electrons while forming their compounds?
Metals are more likely to donate electrons to form ionic compounds. However, some transition metals such as mercury and tin can form covalent bonds in which the metal shares an electron with another atom
What is the family of very reactive groups of mostly nonmetals whose atoms gain or share one electron in chemical reactions?
The Halogen family.All but one of the halogens are nonmetals, and all share similar properties. A halogen atom has 7 valence electrons and typically gains or shares one electron when it reacts.Hope this helped.
What is the different between a covalent bond and ionic bond?
ionic transfers electrons, coavlent shares electrons and ionic has a metal and a nonmetal while covalent has 2 nonmetals

Which group of elements shares the same characteristics its both metals and non metals?
Metalloids
Most of the elements that form a zigzag line in the periodic table belong to one major group what is that group and what kinds of properties do its elements tend to have?
The Elements are Metalloids. They Act Like Non-Metals When They React With Metals
What position do metalloids occupy on periodic table?
Metalloids can be found along the zig-zag line in the periodic table. Any element that shares at least 1 side with the zig-zag line is a metalloid, excluding aluminium and antimony. Aluminum and antimony are metals.

Metals are more likely to donate electrons to form ionic compounds. However, some transition metals such as mercury and tin can form covalent bonds in which the metal shares an electron with another atom
How covalent compounds are made?
Covalent compounds are a type of compound where two nonmetals combine, by sharing electrons. For nonmetals to become stable they usually require 1,2 or 3 more electrons. Hence when two nonmetals combine, they can share electrons. For example the covalent compound Carbon Dioxide has a formula of CO2 that is 1 carbon and two oxygen atoms. Carbon needs 4 more electrons while oxygen only needs two more. Hence each oxygen forms a double covalent bond with the central carbon. The each oxygen atom shares two of its electrons with carbon and carbon shares two of its electrons with each oxygen

Is lead a metalliod?
Though it shares the same group as carbon, silicon, and germanium, lead is definitely metallic. It is malleable, conducts heat and electricity well, is lustrous (though it oxidizes and dulls quickly,) and reacts with nonmetals easily to form compounds similar to those formed by other metals. The metalloids (or semi-metals) are: boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium. Their properties are essentially between those of the nonmetals and the metals, and they are the main ingredients in semiconducting materials. Aluminum falls in the region of the period table that makes up the metalloids, the stairstep pattern that starts with polonium and tellurium and climbs up to boron, but it is always considered a metal, as it has all of the properties that one typically associates with metals. Carbon, phosphorus, selenium, tin, and bismuth can show some of the characteristics of semimetals, depending on how the atoms are bonded together, or the allotrope in which they are found (graphite vs diamond for carbon, for instance.) no, lead is a metal. metalliod is a cross between a metal and a non-metal.
What two atoms share 4 electrons?
Carbon and silicon are two elements that share four electrons while bonding. Occasionally, in compounds like sulfur tetraoxide, elements other than in group 14 also share exactly four electrons.
Why do solid and liquid metals conduct electricity?
Graphite, an allotrope of carbon, is classified as a semimetal, that is, a material that shares some of the properties of metals. Many other non-metallic materials conduct electricity; including salts, plasma and some polymers.
