Why does group 4A elements tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds? 
Both elements, sodium (Na) and potassium (K) lie in the Group 1 column of the Periodic Table , which contains the members of the Alkali Metals family. Members within a family, or column, of elements tend to have similar chemical properties.
Group that tend to form -1 ions include group VIIA
The only group of neutral elements is the noble gases. They are in group 0. They are electronically stable elements that do not tend to react. They exist as single molecules.

Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
Nonmetals typically share electrons in chemical bonds in order to achieve a stable octet configuration in their outermost energy level. This sharing of electrons allows both atoms involved in the bond to reach a more stable, lower energy state. Examples of elements that commonly share electrons in bonds include oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
The group. Elements in the same group tend to have similar properties.
Both elements, sodium (Na) and potassium (K) lie in the Group 1 column of the Periodic Table , which contains the members of the Alkali Metals family. Members within a family, or column, of elements tend to have similar chemical properties.
Elements on the right of the periodic table but not in group 0/8 tend to gain electrons. Those in group 7 tend to gain 1 electron and those in group 6 tend to gain 2.
