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.
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.
Tellurium typically forms covalent bonds. It can also form ionic bonds in certain cases.
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.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.

Tellurium typically forms covalent bonds. It can also form ionic bonds in certain cases.
Since it is composed of one element it can only have covalent bonds.

Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
Tellurium (Te) typically forms two covalent bonds due to its electronic configuration. It has six valence electrons, and it needs two more electrons to complete its octet. This results in the formation of two covalent bonds with other elements.
Alcohols have covalent bonds.
An element with atomic number 7 (nitrogen) can make a maximum of 3 covalent bonds, while an element with atomic number 16 (sulfur) can make a maximum of 2 covalent bonds. Therefore, when they combine, they can form a total of 5 covalent bonds between them.
Hydrogen typically forms 1 covalent bond.
In its pure form as an element, antimony (Sb) is a metal, and it therefore forms a metallic bond rather than a covalent bond.
Sulphur has six valence electrons and hence it can form maximum of six covalent bonds as in SF6.
