All elements in Periodic Table columns 1 - 12 and 17 of a wide form periodic table usually form ionic bonds, as can all other metals and most of the elements in periodic table columns 15 and 16. This does not mean that such elements can not also form covalent bonds.

∙ 13y agoThose elements which have difference in their electronegativity more than 1.7 form
ionic bonds.
For example, Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1 whereas Fluorine has an electronegativity of 4.0. So, HF(hydrofluoric acid) is an ionic compound.

Ionic Bonds occur with the bonding of MOST metals WITH a non-metal. If it is ONLY NON-METALS, it is a Covalent Bond, and if it is ONLY METALS, it is a metallic bonds. Of course, there are exceptions, so IONIC, COVALENT and METALLIC bonds aren't always formed when they might be expected to be.

Why do elements in group 4A do not form ionic bonds?
Group-14 elements share electrons. they form covalent bonds.
Why do group 4a elements tend to form covalent bonds?
Why does group 4A elements tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds? 
When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
What compounds does ionic bonds form?
they form elements
Ionic bonds form between what kinds of elements?
Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal.

When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
Which of these elements would form an ionic compound with lithium?
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
What type of elements will generally form ionic bonds?
Metals forms ionic bonds.
What compounds does ionic bonds form?
they form elements
Ionic bonds form between what kinds of elements?
Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal.
Which group of elemens lose 2 valence electrons when heir atoms form ionic bonds?
The elements in columns 2 and 12 of a wide form periodic table will lose 2 valence electrons when the elements form ionic bonds. (Some other elements also have or can have this property.)
Do metalic elements and non-metalic elements form ionic bonds?
These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.
Why is group 13 described as the swing group in the periodic table?
Because Group 13 elements form both ionic and covalent bonds readily.
Which atoms form an ionic bond?
Not all ionic bonds are oxidation-reduction reactions. Typically, a metal paired with a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. Ex. Ag+ + Cl- --> AgCl (aq) these atoms are bonded with an ionic bond *All compounds with ionic bonds also have covalent bonding, but to a lesser degree.
What forms an ionic compound?
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
