∙ 12y agoThere are quite a few types but most likely the ones that are most important are ionic bonds (where one atom steals the others electrons) an example would be sodium chloride. The other is covalent bonding which is seen more often. Ionic bonds are the most powerful and dramatically raise the melting and boiling point.

What are the three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons?
When atoms share one pair of their electrons, a single covalent bond is formed between the atoms. Atoms that share two or three pairs of electrons form covalent double bonds or covalent triple bonds.
Which of these elements are most likely to form covalent bonds silicon oxygen chlorine or sulfur?
silcon has the lowest electronegtaivity so would most likely form covalent bonds. Sulfur is next (although with group1 and 2 metals it forms ionic compounds) oxygen and chlorine have high electronegativites so form many ionic compounds - however they also form covalent compunds as well.
Covalent compounds form between?
Covalent bonds form betweenthe electrons in the outer valence of an atom.Read more: What_do_covalent_bonds_usually_form_between
What is bariums oxidation number?
0 in the elemental form and +2 in its compounds
What are the two types of binary compounds?
Type 1 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation has only one form, or charge. Type 2 binary ionic compounds are those in which the cation can have multiple forms.
Can Carbon can form many types of molecules with covalent bonds?
Yes it can form all sorts of compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbonic acid (H2CO3) or organic compounds such as ethanes (CnH2n+2), ethenes (CnH2n), alcohols (CnH2n-1OH), and carboxylic acids (CnH2n-1COOH).
What are 2 ways in which compounds form?
There are two types of compounds according to their bonding, ionic and covalent. Compounds can be divided into two with respect to their appearance, molecular compounds and crystalline compounds.
Why carbon can form many different compounds?
Carbon is quite a special element. It can form 2 double bonds, and is able to form long chains with itself, C-C bonds are also strong. This makes it ideal as the basis of living organisms.
How many covalent bonds in sulphur?
Sulfur can form two covalent bonds as in H2S, and can form 6 as in SO3. In elemnatl allotropes of sulfur which are covalent bonded, many are cyclic compounds the number of covalent onds is 2.
What are the three types of bonds that can form when two atoms share electrons?
When atoms share one pair of their electrons, a single covalent bond is formed between the atoms. Atoms that share two or three pairs of electrons form covalent double bonds or covalent triple bonds.

Can carbon only form single bonds?
No. Benzene (C6H6) is a base for very many carbocyclic compounds. It contains six carbon atoms in a hexagon. The bonds between the carbon atoms are alternately single and double. The fourth is with the hydrogen. Acetylen (C2H2) jas a triple carbon-to-carbon bond.
What type of bond does 2 iron atoms form?
The slightly positive charge on iron allows for what type of bond to oxygen that allows for transport from the lungs to the tissues
What are two ways atoms can combine to form compounds?
You can form compounds with ionic bonds, or covalent bonds. Example 1: Salts are bonded together with ionic bonds, such as NaCl or CuCl2. When compounds have ionic bonds it is the electrostatic force between the atoms that bonds them together. Example 2: Inorganic/organic molecules are mostly bonded together with covalent bonding. this means that the atoms share pairs of electrons with each other, and there is a equilibrium between the attractive and repulsive forces between the atoms. CO2, EtOH, H2O all have covalent bonds "holding" the molecule together
How many chemical bonds can a sulfur atom make?
Sulfur can make 2, 4 or 6 bonds. Examples of compounds with these valencies for sulfur are iron(II) sulfide, FeS, sulfurous acid, H2SO3, and sulfur hexafluoride, SF6 respectively. Of course, the numbers in the formulae should be subscripts.
