How do you tell if a bond is covalent?
if it occurs between non metal atoms. Covalent bonds can only occur between non metal atoms but Ionic bonds occur between metal and non metal atoms.
Is wood a non metal?
No, but it's not a metal, either. A "non-metal" is an element, and "wood" is not a chemical element. So, wood is not a non-metal, and it's not a metal, either. Wood is a very complex substance made of many different molecules, which are made of many different atoms.
Which atoms form ionic compound?
metal and non metal
How many non metal atoms are in Cu2O?
Just one in every molecule, oxygen
What kind of atoms are covalent bonds?
Atoms do not have covalent bonds, they form them. A covalent bond is typically non-metal to non-metal, and hydrogen is considered a non meteal

Why is NaF a salt?
the difference of electronegativities of sodium and fluorine is 3.1 so they form ionic bonds . the metals and non metals usually have this difference higher than 1.7 and this and higher difference is always form an ionic bond between atoms
Are small atoms more likely to be metal or non metal?
metal
What consists of two non metal atoms?
Covalent bonds may contain two non metal atoms. Example is CH4.
A non-metal bonding to a non- metal makes what charge?
it depends on the valency of the atoms

Is NaF a metal or non metal?
Description belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as alkali metal fluorides. These are inorganic compounds in which the largest halogen atom is fluorine, and the heaviest metal atom is an alkali metal. Kingdom Inorganic compounds
Is Na-F ionic?
No "NaF" is Nonpolar covalent because 4.0 - 0.9 is in the Nonpolar covalent range.
Does carbon dioxide only contain non metal atoms?
yes both the carbon and oxygen are non metal atoms but beside this carbodioxide is lethal
