Nickel typically forms 2 bonds in its compounds. It is a transition metal with an oxidation state of +2, which allows it to form bonds with other elements by sharing or transferring 2 electrons.
The plural form of nickel is "nickels."
No, nickel sulfide does not have covalent bonds. Nickel sulfide typically forms ionic bonds due to the difference in electronegativity between nickel and sulfur.
Metallic bonds form between nickel and other metal atoms - sort of metal nuclei in a lattice in a shared cloud of electrons - or if you will - very diffuse covalent bonding. The metal-carbon bond in organometallic compounds is generally of character intermediate between ionic and covalent. In metalorganics (where the metal does not bind directly to the carbon, but to some other atom in the otherwise organic molecule) the bonds tend to be covalent. Between nickel and halogens, the bonds have ionic character. In nickel salts like nickel sulfate, the bonds are ionic. So - in short - the type of bond nickel forms depends on its valence state and what it is bonding with.
An atom of sulfur (S) can form up to six bonds.
Oxygen can form up to two bonds in a chemical compound.

Carbon form generally covalent bonds; ionic bonds are rare.
No, nickel sulfide does not have covalent bonds. Nickel sulfide typically forms ionic bonds due to the difference in electronegativity between nickel and sulfur.
It can form four bonds. It is small and can form long chains

Oxygen can form two bonds. It typically forms double bonds with other elements.
it can form 4 covalent bonds, so it can form single, double, and triple bonds and it readily bonds with itself.
Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds as it has 4 valence electrons.
Titanium can form a maximum of 4 bonds due to its 4 valence electrons.
An atom of sulfur (S) can form up to six bonds.
Oxygen can form up to two bonds in a chemical compound.
Sulfur can form a maximum of six bonds in a Lewis structure.
