Nonmetals are the elements best known to bond by a covalent bond, as they typically share electrons to achieve a full outer shell and form stable molecules. Examples include hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon.
Covalent bonds can best be described as a sharing of electrons between atoms in order to achieve a stable electronic configuration. This sharing of electrons allows atoms to achieve a full outer shell and form a strong bond.
A compound is 2 or more elements joined by chemical bonds
Sodium(Na) is an element found on group I on the periodic table of elements. It is most commonly found present in the compound NaCl, Sodium chloride, better known as salt. Nearly always the metals in group I (including sodium) and group II will form ionic compounds, i.e they don't form covalent bonds at all! Remember a covalent bond is where two atoms share a PAIR of electrons. An ionic bond is where one atom has a negative charge and another atom has a positive charge, the reason they bond is due to their 'wanting' to cancel out their charges. So I presume you meant to ask '' Does sodium form non-polar covalent bonds with other atoms?'', the answer is NO. However on an advanced note, could sodium form POLAR covalent bonds? Maybe, not sure . Remember, a polar covalent bond means where one of the atoms in a covalent bond has a higher tendency to attract the electrons in it, creating a 'polarity' i.e charge difference. The best example of non polar covalent bonds are between carbon atoms. There's many cases where an ionic bond can be somewhat covalent aswell and vice versa (apparently NaCl bond is 29% covalent?!) .There's a thing called the Linus Pauling scale of electronegativity which allows rough prediction of what type of bonds atoms will form with each other. The truth is that bonding theory is actually very complex and is not explained well at all in school, I'm 3/4 through my chemistry degree and I Still only get the jist of it. I know i went on a bit of a rant, but I hope I helped someone out there none the less. Take it easy
Covalent bonds can best be described as a sharing of electrons between atoms.
Elements from Group 17, also known as the halogens, are most likely to react with potassium to form ionic compounds. This is because halogens have a high affinity for gaining an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration and potassium has a tendency to lose one electron to achieve stability.
the last group or the 18th group of the table the helium group known as noble gases are known as inert gases
Best known for creating the periodic table of elements. The periodic may also be used now.

One of the elements in Group 17 in the periodic table.One of the elements that includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.
Michelle Phillips is best known for being a member of the musical group "The Mamas and The Papas". When the musical group parted ways, Michelle became known as a famous actress.

The Spencer Davis Group records the genre music known as British Beat Group. The Spencer Davis Group was formed in 1963. Their best known single is known as Somebody Help Me.
An elements property can be best predicted from the group it is in the Periodic Table. Groups (the columns of the tables) of elements have similar properties due to their similar electron configuration of the valence shell.
The Rootes Group is known best for its manufacture and sale of British Automobiles. They are not as well known today as they have had issues with the United States in the past.

A 1960s group known as the Drifters were the first R&B group to include violins or "strings" in their arrangement. They are best known for the song "Under the Boardwalk."
