no, they cant
Covalent bonds are between two non-metals while ionic bonds are made between a metal and a non-metal. Chlorine is a non-metal, so a covalent bond forms in a diatomic molecule of chlorine.
No, oxygen and nitrogen do not form an ionic bond. They are both nonmetals and tend to form covalent bonds where they share electrons rather than transfer them.
Nonmetals typically form covalent bonds with other nonmetals, rather than with metals. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve stability. Metal atoms tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, rather than share electrons in a covalent bond.
No, it is not a covalent bond. It is an Ionic bond.
Yes, nitrogen can form covalent bonds. In its diatomic form, nitrogen forms a triple covalent bond with another nitrogen atom to create N2 molecules. Nitrogen can also form covalent bonds with other elements to create compounds.
A covalent bond is a bond between a non-metal and another non-metal, and shares electrons, while an ionic bond is a bond between a non-metal and a metal and, instead of sharing electrons, they form ions.
Usually a metal bonded and a nonmetal form an ionic bond. There are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which has covalent bonds.
An ionic covalent bond forms when a metal bonds to a non-metal that is bonded to another non-metal. One such as this would be LiOH. The Oxygen and Hydrogen form a covalent bond and the Lithium to the Hydroxide forms an ionic bond.
Two non metal atoms typically form a covalent bonds.

It is covalent. Ionic bonds only form between two different elements with a larger difference in electronegativity. O2 contains two atoms of the same element, so there is no difference in electronegativity.
Al is a metal and N is a non-metal, so they will form a covalent bond.
Covalent bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal. Cu is copper, a metal, so it will react with F to form CuF, a compound with ionic bonds.
