With enough activation energy any group can form bonds but the group that needs the most activation energy is the noble gases.
You can determine the number of covalent bonds an element can form by looking at its group number on the periodic table. Elements in group 4 can typically form 4 covalent bonds, elements in group 5 can form 3 bonds, elements in group 6 can form 2 bonds, and elements in group 7 can form 1 bond.
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.
Diamond is not listed on the periodic table as it is a form of carbon, which is located in Group 14 of the periodic table.
The nonmetal elements in the upper right corner of the periodic table are more likely to form covalent bonds due to their higher electronegativity. Additionally, elements in the middle of the periodic table, known as metalloids, also tend to form covalent bonds due to their intermediate properties between metals and nonmetals.
Oxygen can form compounds with elements from group 1 of the periodic table, like lithium oxide (Li2O), sodium oxide (Na2O), and potassium superoxide (KO2). These compounds typically involve oxygen accepting electrons to form anions.
Group 18

Because Group 13 elements form both ionic and covalent bonds readily.

Elements from the group 2 of the periodic table form cations.
Non metals form bonds by gaining electrons. They form anions.
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.
The nonmetal elements in the upper right corner of the periodic table are more likely to form covalent bonds due to their higher electronegativity. Additionally, elements in the middle of the periodic table, known as metalloids, also tend to form covalent bonds due to their intermediate properties between metals and nonmetals.
The noble gases are in column 18 of a wide form periodic table.
Group-14 elements do not transfer electrons. They share electrons to form covalent bonds.
Oxygen can form compounds with elements from group 1 of the periodic table, like lithium oxide (Li2O), sodium oxide (Na2O), and potassium superoxide (KO2). These compounds typically involve oxygen accepting electrons to form anions.
