Xenon (Xe) typically forms covalent bonds. It is a noble gas and tends not to gain or lose electrons to form ions like ionic compounds do. Instead, it shares electrons with other nonmetals to form covalent compounds.

Which elements can be joined by a covalent bond K Cl C N Li Cu Fe Xe Mg N?

C and N, N and H, Cl and Cl, Xe and Xe can form covalent bonds. Mg and Cl, Li and Cl, Cu and Cl, Fe and Cl can form ionic bonds due to the large difference in electronegativity. K and Cl would form an ionic bond as well.


Is XeF2 covalent or ionic?

Well, Xe F4, has individual ionic bonds between the Xenon and flourines facing in opposite directions along with the lone pairs on Xe. This makes this species non-ionic. If you want a tip to check if you have an ionic compound, check if the electronegativity difference of the two atoms is greater than one. If it is greater than one you have an ionic species. However, this does not nessacarily determine if its is ionic or not. You must look at the directions of dipoles. If the dipole cancel out than it will be non-ionic. Such that in XeF4
