Does CCl4 contain both ionic and covalent bonds?
CCl4 is a covalent bond. Their difference in electronegativity isn't that great
Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bonds but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds. Why?
they have a great tendency to lose electrons
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
What elements are involved in covalent bonding?
In organic chemistry, covalent bonding is most often associated with carbon compounds, which are known as organic chemicals. Hydrogen is also involved most of the time, as well as oxygen. Other elements can also be involved, but less frequently. In inorganic chemistry, nonmetals tend to form covalent bonds when reacting with one another. Some examples of inorganic covalent compounds are; carbon monoxide, CO, carbon dioxide, CO2, oxygen, O2, chlorine, Cl2, nitrogen, N2, nitric oxide, NO, nitrous oxide, N2O, sulfur, S8, sulfur chloride, SCl2, and sulfur dioxide, SO2.
Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bonds but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds why?
Metallic elements tend to donate electrons easily to form positive ions, which is why they are more likely to form ionic bonds. On the other hand, forming covalent bonds involves sharing electrons between atoms, which can be challenging for metallic elements due to their tendency to lose electrons easily. This property makes metallic elements less favorable for forming covalent bonds.

What type of chemical bond holds together the backbone of a strand of DNA?
Covalent bonds between a sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and a phosphate group make up the backbone of DNA. These are very strong covalent bonds and are broken only with great expenditure of energy--x-rays, for example.

Why are ionic bonds always polar?
Coordinate covalent bond is always polar because only one atom supplied both shared pair electron due to which partial positive charge appears on donar and partial negative charge on acceptor
Is ammonia a ionic or covalent compound?
Ammonia is a covalent compound. It is a compound of two nonmetals, nitrogen and hydrogen, so the difference in electronegativity is not great enough to cause ionic bonding.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form non covalent bonds?
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
How does a hydrogen bond compare to a covalent bond?
The short answer, without too much research or effort on my part, is that hydrogen bonds are weaker. The are due to the attraction of hydrogen to other elements (such as oxygen) that have lone pairs swimming around. Covalent bonds are due to electronic effects, and as such are stronger.
Covalent bond in which electrons are shared equally?
A non-polar covalent is one in which the electrons are shared equally.
Are ions made when atoms bond covalently?
no. an ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non metal resulting in an ionic compound e.g. sodium chloride. a covalent bond is between two non or more non-metal atoms and a structure such as a giant ionic lattice or a simple molecular structure e.g. H2 will be formed
