yes.
Why does group 4A elements tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds? 
Group-14 elements share electrons. they form covalent bonds.
generally group 1
Rule of thumb answer is covalent bonds form between non metal elements.

So basically covalent starts with a c just like the group carbon does on the periodic table, thus, group 14 form covalent bonds. That's how I always remember it. While on the other hand group 1 and 17 form ionic bonds.
A non-metal and a non-metal form covalent bonds.
The elements carbon and hydrogen both form primarily covalent bonds.
The elements of V- A group of periodic table form three covalent bonds as Nitrogen forms NH3 and phosphorus forms PH3.
All non-metals in group IV will be able to form 4 covalent bonds with other elements. They need 4 more electrons to form the octet structure in their valence shell. Hence, they can form 4 single covalent bonds to constitute the covalent structure. On the other hand, elements in group III, such as boron, can also make 1 double bond and 3 single bonds to share 5 electrons to achieve octet structure.
Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to create molecules.
