Covalent Bonds
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
A covalent bond will form between chlorine and fluorine because they both are non-metals which have similar electronegativities, which results in the sharing of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Ionic compounds form between metals and nonmetals. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions which attract each other and form a stable compound.
Form a covalent electron sharing bond.
No, non-metals are more likely to form covalent bonds with other non-metals because they tend to share electrons rather than transfer them. Ionic bonds typically form between metals and non-metals due to the large difference in electronegativity.
metals and non-metals
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
When 2 non metals form a bond together, it is usually a covalent bond.
Covalent :)
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds, with metals and non-metals respectively.
Cl and F form ionic bond when they combine with metals and form covalent bond when combined with non-metals.

Metals and non-metals
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
