Covalent bonding does not necessarily require that the two atoms be of the there is good overlap between the atomic orbitals of participating atoms.
Non-polar covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals that have similar electronegativities. Metals and nonmetals have significantly different electronegativities, so they tend to form ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds instead of non-polar covalent bonds. Metals usually donate electrons to nonmetals to achieve stability, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds or polar covalent bonds due to the difference in electronegativities.
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
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.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
Arsenic typically forms three covalent bonds. It has five valence electrons that can participate in bonding, leading to the formation of up to three covalent bonds.
polar bonds are non metals bonded to non metals and non polar covalent bonds are bonds sharing electrons.....
no. they form ionic bonds.
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.

no, sodium is a metal and metals don't form covalent bonds

There are two kinds of bonding; ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Covalent bonds form between non-metals

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.
Covalent... Ionic bonds take place only between metals and non-metals whereas covalent bonds occur between non-metals only. Since Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are non-metals, the type of bonding occurring here is covalent
