Tellurium is an element and will tend to form ionic bonds but can also form covalent bonds. Any element on its own is always nonpolar.
The element tellurium would be expected to form 2covalent bonds in order to obey the octet rule.Te is a nonmetal in group 6A, and therefore has 6 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 2 electrons. It can do this by forming 2single covalent bonds.
The answer expected here is non-metal, and examples are carbon, chlorine, sulfur phosphorus. Metals have metallic bonds. However there are compounds where atoms of a metallic element form covalent bonds to other atoms of the same element.
P2O5 is not an element. It is a compound with polar covalent bonds.

Since it is composed of one element it can only have covalent bonds.

P2O5 is not an element. It is a compound with polar covalent bonds.
Any element that is in group 15 of the periodic table will form three covalent bonds.
The element silicon would be expected to form 4 covalent bond(s) in order to obey the octet rule. Si is a nonmetal in group 4A, and therefore has 4 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 4 electrons. It can do this by forming 4 single covalent bonds.
Alcohols have covalent bonds.
Carbon is the element tht will form only covalent compound.
ionic and covalent
Hydrogen only has one electron so it will form only one bond
