Boron will form the covalent bonds based on the octet rule.
7
maximum number of covalent bonds typically formed by fluorine is 1
Beryllium generally forms covalent bonds. Beryllium is in the 2nd group and 2nd period so it is a very small cation. Smaller cation favors formation of covalent bonds. source(s):Fajan's Rule
The element silicon would be expected to form 4 covalent bond(s) in order to obey the octet rule. Si is a nonmetal in group 4A, and therefore has 4 valence electrons. In order to obey the octet rule, it needs to gain 4 electrons. It can do this by forming 4 single covalent bonds.
Three bonds and no lone pairs.
Covalent bonding is the bond within compounds that have a electronegativity difference of less than approx. 1.5 units, usually non-metal to non-metal...examples being benzoic acid, sucrose... and oxygen (two molecules of O bonded) has a covalent bond
Boron is in group 3 and forms generally 3 covalent bonds. Because forming 3 bonds only gives boron a share of 6 electrons boron compounds are Lewis acids.
maximum number of covalent bonds typically formed by fluorine is 1
3 covalent bonds can be formed by Nitrogen
In almost any case four covalent or polar-covalent bonds are formed. Never ionic!
four
4 single bonds! or variations with double bonds!!
Ionic bonds are never formed in a covalent bond. Although, there are ions such as sulfate, nitrate and chlorate where covalent bonds are located inside the ion.
1
it will form three bonding
It is a network solid, a lattice of many covalent bonds (like diamond, except that it is black rather than transparent).
BaBr2 has two ionic bonds, but no covalent bonds.
There are so many such crystals one example is Diamond.
