Is it possible for metals and non metals to form nonpolar covalent?

No. Most of the time a metal and a nonmetal will form an ionic bond, but if the electronegativity difference is less than 1.6 (1.7 according to some), they could form a polar covalent bond. For example, beryllium chloride is a polar covalent compound because the electronegativity difference between the metal beryllium (Be) and the nonmetal chlorine (Cl) is 1.59. For a printable periodic table that gives the Pauling electronegativities of the elements, plus a whole lot more, go to the following website:

What type of bond does Cl and F have?
The bond between F and Cl is a polar covalent bond. Fluorine is very electronegative and Cl is not as much. The difference is large enough to be considered polar.
Is it possible for metal and non metals to form non polar covalent bond?
No
How can a molecule be in a nonpolar covalent bond?
A molecule can have a completely nonpolar covalent bond when two atoms of the same element form the bond.
What type of bond is predicted to form between a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom?
A covalent bond due to the fact that they are both non-metals
How does a nonpolar covalent bond form?
By the equal sharing of electrons.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form polar covalent?

Is it possible for non metals and metals to form non polar covalent?
Yes, it is possible.

Is it possible for metal and non metals to form non polar covalent bond?
No
What happens when atoms form a covalent bond?
a) Must include a metal and a nonmetal b) Must be of different elements c) Are always of the same element d) Are always two metals Need Answer! :( D) Are always two metals. a) is for ionic compounds b) is for nonpolar covalent bonds c) same as nonpolar covalent bonds b) Must be of different elements:)
How can a molecule be in a nonpolar covalent bond?
A molecule can have a completely nonpolar covalent bond when two atoms of the same element form the bond.
Is it possible for metals and non metals form non polar covalent bond?
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
What type of bond is predicted to form between a carbon atom and a hydrogen atom?
A covalent bond due to the fact that they are both non-metals
Can water form covalent bonds with nonpolar molecules?
No. It can't.
How does a nonpolar covalent bond form?
By the equal sharing of electrons.
Would sulfur hexafluoride be classified as an ionic compound?
Sulfur hexafluoride has covalent bonds.
Covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally?
A non-polar covalent is one in which the electrons are shared equally.
