Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell. Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Polonium is a metalloid element and it can form both ionic and covalent bonds. In general, polonium tends to form covalent bonds with nonmetals, and can also form ionic bonds with highly electronegative elements.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
NF3 is a covalent compound. Nitrogen and fluorine are both nonmetals, so they share electrons to form covalent bonds rather than transferring them to form ionic bonds.
Sulfur can form both ionic and covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, sulfur tends to gain two electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. In covalent bonds, sulfur often shares electrons with other nonmetals.
No, carbon usually forms covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Carbon is more likely to share electrons with other atoms to complete its valence shell.

no. they form ionic bonds.
Carbon typically forms covalent bonds. It is rare for it to form ionic bonds.
Metals form generally forms ionic bonds as in salts.Carbon form covalent bonds, for ex.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.
The two types of chemical bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds form between ions with opposite charges, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
NF3 is a covalent compound. Nitrogen and fluorine are both nonmetals, so they share electrons to form covalent bonds rather than transferring them to form ionic bonds.
The two main types of chemical bonds are ionic and covalent.
nonmetals; nonmetals
No, they form covalent bonds.
Sulfur can form both ionic and covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, sulfur tends to gain two electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. In covalent bonds, sulfur often shares electrons with other nonmetals.
