No. The nonmetal will take the electron from the metal, which makes this an ionic bond - not a "sharing" covalent bond.

Which group of elements shares characteristics with the both metals and nonmetals?

Metalloids or semimetals are elements that share characteristics with both metals and nonmetals. They are found along the staircase on the periodic table, separating the metals from the nonmetals. Metalloids have properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals, such as being semi-conductive.

Most of the elements that form a zigzag line in the periodic table belong to one major group what is that group and what kinds of properties do its elements tend to have?

The elements that form a zigzag line on the periodic table belong to the metalloids group. Metalloids have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. They typically exhibit characteristics of both groups, such as being semi-conductive and having varying degrees of metallic and non-metallic properties.
