Covalent bonds can be formed between metal atoms, but such compounds are relatively rare. The bonds in a solid metal are usually called "metallic" rather than covalent bonds, because at least some of the valence electrons in a solid metal are shared throughout the boundaries of the solid rather than being present predominantly in the space between any two particular metal atom nuclei.
Typically the answer is no. However, one exception is Hg2 Which is covalently bonded with itself.
Most metals that are bonded with themselves are bonded by what's known as "metalic bonding" which is a term used in contrast to covalent bonding because of the difference in the mechanics of how it works.
I must say I am not an expert on this, I am currently in Gen Chem II, but we haven't covered metalic bonding yet and as of the end of Gen Chem I, the only bonds we talked about were non-metal/metal and nonmetal/nonmetal.
being ionic and covalent respectively.
Bottom line: I'm pretty sure Hg does have a covalent bond, but I don't think the rest of the metals do. Best guess!
Generally, the bond of metal to metal is called a metallic bond, and it is quite distinct from the covalent bond and this is the bond found in solid metals and alloys.
However in say Mercury(I) compounds , the two mercury atoms are bonded by a covalent bond. There are other examples.
Both metals and nonmetals can form covalent bonds, but nonmetals do so more often.
Covalent bonds are specific for nonmetals.
Metals form metallic bonds.
Covalent bonds tend to occur between two Non- Metals.
No, it forms only ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are only formed between non-metals, although a few metals, such as Aluminum, can also form covalent bonds with non-metals.
Covalent... Ionic bonds take place only between metals and non-metals whereas covalent bonds occur between non-metals only. Since Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are non-metals, the type of bonding occurring here is covalent

Metalic bonds are in metals. Covalent bonds are in covalent compounds.
Covalent bonds tend to occur between two Non- Metals.
No, it forms only ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are only formed between non-metals, although a few metals, such as Aluminum, can also form covalent bonds with non-metals.
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons, especially between non metals.
Covalent... Ionic bonds take place only between metals and non-metals whereas covalent bonds occur between non-metals only. Since Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are non-metals, the type of bonding occurring here is covalent
Covalent bonds are formed between non-metals only, while ionic bonds are formed between metals and non-metals. Since calcium is a metal and iodine is a non-metal, this would not be a covalent bond.
Covalent bonds are formed when non-metals share electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when metals and non-metals lose and gain electrons.
Covalent bond is formed between two elements if the electronegativity difference between two atoms is below 1.7. In the case of non metals this is true and hence covalent bonds are formed.
Covalent bonds are formed between atoms by sharing electrons between them.

polar bonds are non metals bonded to non metals and non polar covalent bonds are bonds sharing electrons.....
covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between atoms.
Metalic bonds are in metals. Covalent bonds are in covalent compounds.
