Nonmetals tend to form covalent bonds when reacting with one another. In covalent bonding, the atoms share valence electrons so that each atom will have a noble gas configuration of electrons, called an octet (8 electrons), except for hydrogen, which bonds to obtain the noble gas configuration of helium, which has 2 valence electrons.

What class of elements form covalent compounds?
Nonmetals typically form covalent compounds. These elements share electrons to achieve a full outer shell and create stable molecules through covalent bonding. Examples include carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and fluorine.
Is a diatomic molecule more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or ionic bond?
diatomic molecules are made up of two atoms. These two atoms can either be the same of different chemical elements. Depending on what elements are in place well that depends on what kind of bonding. For example in class i learned that a homo-nuclear diatomic molecule is non-polar and covalent.
Is CCl4 a ionic or molecular compound?
Based off my chemistry class, for bonds to be ionic it must be a bonding of a metal and a non-metal. Since chlorine and carbon are both non metals they can't be ionic, we would call it covalent bond but molecular compound works as well.
What is a mineral bonding?
Mineral bonding refers to the forces that hold atoms together to form minerals. These forces can include ionic bonds, covalent bonds, metallic bonds, and van der Waals forces, among others. The type of bonding present in a mineral influences its physical properties.
What is the largest class of elements?
The largest class of elements on the periodic table is the metals, which make up the majority of the elements. These elements are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.

What is a word using the elements?
In science class we learn about elements.

What class of elements tends to be involved in ionic bonding?
Metals and nonmetals tend to undergo ionic bonding when reacting with one another. Metals lose electrons and become positively charged ions, and the nonmetals gain these electrons and become negatively charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
What class is rhenium?
Elements have groups, periods and even blocks but not class.
What class of elements are semiconducters?
Metalloids
What class elements are semiconductors?
Metalloids
In science what are classes?
Class one... this question is very vague... literally... a sense of bonding unites a class into one organization. soo... no idea how to anser your question
