Question

multiple - choice question which type of elements tend to form covalent bonds? i am leaving out metalloids for the time being. metal to metal non - metals to non - metals metal to non - metal

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. Non - metals have relatively high electronegativities and similar tendencies to gain electrons. When non - metals interact, they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming covalent bonds. Metals tend to form metallic or ionic bonds, and metal - non - metal combinations often result in ionic bonds.

Answer:

non - metals to non - metals
