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.


How many covalent bonds are formed by tellurium?

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.
