When atoms of nitrogen and oxygen combine will they form ionic or covalent bonds explain?

Answer 1

will form covalent bond since they're both nonmetals+ since losing/gaining electrons takes a lot of energy, the # of electrons in their outewr shells will make it difficult .. so, the alternative is sharing electrons... ~Hetaliafan~ Hope this helps!! :)

ionic=metal+nonmetal

covalent= nonmetals

metallic= metals

Answer 2

When nitrogen and oxygen atoms combine, they will form covalent bonds. This is because both nitrogen and oxygen are nonmetals and tend to share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Ionic bonds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred.
