Best Answer

If you mean what bond does an element form the general answer is

metals form ionic bonds

noble gases have great difficulty forming bonds, when they do they are covalent

rest of non metals form either ionic bonds with metals or covalent bonds with the rest

metalloids form mainly covalent
