How can you tell the number of covalent bonds an element can form?

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.


Can Group 6 and Group 7 elements only form covalent bonds?

No, Group 6 and Group 7 elements can form a variety of bonds, including covalent, ionic, and metallic bonds. The tendency to form covalent bonds increases as you move across the period from Group 1 to Group 7. Group 6 elements, such as oxygen and sulfur, commonly form covalent bonds, while Group 7 elements, such as chlorine and fluorine, tend to form ionic bonds with metals.


The atoms in one group can form compounds with the atoms in the other group but not with atoms in their own group which atoms are in each group?

Metals can form ionic bonds with non-metals. Non-metals can form bonds with each other covalently. Two metals cannot form compounds with each other.AnswerIf you mean group x can form compounds with group y but not with atoms in group x. Then group x is the metals and group y is the non-metals.The question is a little confusing as group one and group two mean somthing in chemistry. The chemistry generally group one and two is used to refer to two different types of metals called the alkali metalg and the alkaline earths. They are in these groups on the periodic table.


What is the difference between the alpha and beta anomeric carbon in carbohydrates?

The alpha and beta anomeric carbons in carbohydrates differ in the orientation of the hydroxyl group attached to them. In the alpha form, the hydroxyl group is on the opposite side of the ring from the CH2OH group, while in the beta form, the hydroxyl group is on the same side as the CH2OH group.


What group on the periodic table does not form bonds?

With enough activation energy any group can form bonds but the group that needs the most activation energy is the noble gases.
