Metallic bond
A displacement reaction, in which the copper dissolves to form copper nitrate and replaces silver ions in the original silver nitrate, reducing the silver ions to metallic silver.
In certain reaction conditions, yes. Copper is more reactive than silver, so it should react with the nitrate molecule to form copper nitrate while precipitating the silver. *Are you thinking about separating silver from photographic fixer? Commonly a less expensive metal is used like iron (steel wool) to extract much of the silver.
Silver has a higher reduction potential than copper (ie silver "wants" to be in reduced form - metalic form - "more" than copper does). If silver METAL (Ag0) is added to a solution of CuSO4, nothing happens since silver is already reduced and it wants to stay that way.
from what I've seen, if the reaction is being done in distilled water, then the copper attracts the silver nitrate to it and the copper gets a thick film that is very easily removed and leaves tarnished copper looking bright and brand new.
If the silver nitrate is in aqueous solution and the copper is solid in contact with the solution of silver nitrate, copper atoms will dissolve as ions from the surface of the copper and be replaced by silver atoms formed from the silver ions in solution. This reaction will continue until the entire surface of the copper in contact with the solution is covered with silver. The chemical driving force for this reaction is displacement of one element from its compounds by another element that is higher in the electromotive series than the element displaced.
Copper Chloride is an ionic bond. So, no. It isn't a covalent bond. :)
No. Solid copper has a metallic bond, a distinct form along with ionic and covalent.
Silver does not form covalent bonds. In metallic form, it has a metallic bond, and in compounds, it forms ionic bonds.

By dissolving the silver nitrate in water, then stirring finely divided copper into the water. The copper will displace silver from the silver nitrate as a solid and form copper nitrate in the solution.
Silver soldered means that silver was used to bond two metal parts together. The silver was melted and then cooled to form the bond.
yes
Copper chloride form ionic bond. Copper exists as cuprous and cupric. It react with chlorine and ionic bonds are formed.
Silver nitrate does not precipitate in this case; elemental silver does. In this reaction, silver nitrate reacts with copper to form elemental silver and copper II nitrate. The silver, which is a metal, is insoluble in water.
No.
Carbon and oxygen are the only pair in that list that will form a covalent bond; the others will form ionic bonds, except for copper and tin which will form a metallic bond.
Not with each other, no. Since both are metals they would form a metallic bond with one another.
