With enough activation energy any group can form bonds but the group that needs the most activation energy is the noble gases.
Any element that is in group 15 of the periodic table will form three covalent bonds.
The elements of V- A group of periodic table form three covalent bonds as Nitrogen forms NH3 and phosphorus forms PH3.
The elements in a column on the periodic table form a group (or family) because they have similar physical and chemical properties.
So basically covalent starts with a c just like the group carbon does on the periodic table, thus, group 14 form covalent bonds. That's how I always remember it. While on the other hand group 1 and 17 form ionic bonds.
Metals and non metals have tendency to form ionic bonds. metals are present in group-1,2.Non metals are in group 15,16,17
Group 18
Any element that is in group 15 of the periodic table will form three covalent bonds.
Because Group 13 elements form both ionic and covalent bonds readily.
The elements of V- A group of periodic table form three covalent bonds as Nitrogen forms NH3 and phosphorus forms PH3.
The elements in a column on the periodic table form a group (or family) because they have similar physical and chemical properties.
Non metals form bonds by gaining electrons. They form anions.
Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
The noble gases are in column 18 of a wide form periodic table.
Periodic table consists of elements not cations. However group 1 and group 2 elements (left side of the periodic table) are elements which will form cations easily.
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
You think prpbable to ionic bonds.
So basically covalent starts with a c just like the group carbon does on the periodic table, thus, group 14 form covalent bonds. That's how I always remember it. While on the other hand group 1 and 17 form ionic bonds.
