What kind of element most often forms covalent bonds?
Typically the non metals form covalent bonds. Of course some non metals will also form anions when they react with metals. Some metals can also can form covalent bonds however as their electronegativity is low these bonds are often polar covalent
Can metals and non metals form covalent bonds?
Metals typically do not form covalent bonds, as they tend to lose electrons to form positive ions. Non-metals, on the other hand, can form covalent bonds by sharing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In some cases, metals and non-metals can form covalent bonds if the non-metal behaves like a metalloid and shares electrons with the metal.
Do covalent bonds form between two metals?
No. A covalent bond will generally form between two nonmetals.
Does potassium form covalent bonds?
No, it forms only ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are only formed between non-metals, although a few metals, such as Aluminum, can also form covalent bonds with non-metals.
What type of bonds will the element chlorine form?
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.

Do metals form covalent bonds?
no. they form ionic bonds.
What elements do nonmetals react to?
Nonmetals commonly react with metals to form ionic compounds. Nonmetals can also react with other nonmetals to form covalent compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can react with oxygen, hydrogen, and halogens to form various types of compounds.
Is sodium and sulfur likely to form covalent bonds?
no, sodium is a metal and metals don't form covalent bonds

Do covalent bonds form between two metals?
No. A covalent bond will generally form between two nonmetals.
What is the different bonding methods of elements?
There are two kinds of bonding; ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Covalent bonds form between non-metals
Is nitrogen gas ionic or covalent?
Nitrogen forms a diatomic molecule, or N2 Covalent bonds form between non-metals and non-metals Ionic bonds form between non-metals and metals. Because nitrogen is a non-metal and bonds with itself it forms a covalent bond.
Which element always form ionic compound and covalent bond?
Metals form generally forms ionic bonds as in salts.Carbon form covalent bonds, for ex.
Does potassium form covalent bonds?
No, it forms only ionic bonds. Covalent bonds are only formed between non-metals, although a few metals, such as Aluminum, can also form covalent bonds with non-metals.
What type of bonds will the element chlorine form?
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
How do you know if an element is a ionic or covelant bond?
If you mean what bond does an element form the general answer is metals form ionic bonds noble gases have great difficulty forming bonds, when they do they are covalent rest of non metals form either ionic bonds with metals or covalent bonds with the rest metalloids form mainly covalent
