There is really no such thing as a "metal molecule" although there do exist molecules that have some metals in them. There are no molecules made entirely out of metal (since you would get a metallic bond, and hence a metal, rather than a molecule). The hemoglobin molecule is a good example of an organic molecule which also contains iron. And yes, in hemoglobin, the iron has a covalent bond.

What is the diffirence between ionic and covalent bonds?

ionic bonds are metal/non-metal while covalent bonds are non-metal/non-metal ionic bonds involve donating of electrons from one molecule to the other, whereas covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons between the 2 molecules.


What types of bonds do water form?

Water molecules form covalent bonds, because they are non-metal compounds. If you mean the bonds within the water molecules themselves, they are Hydrogen bonds.

Is gold a covalent bond?

Covalent bonds are usually between a non-metal and another non-metal. Ionic bonds are usually between a metal and a non-metal. Since gold is a metal it will make ionic bonds not covalent.
