What kinds of elements make up covalently bonded compounds?

Question

need an answr asap! thanks!

Answer 1

Atoms from the right hand side of the periodic table form covalent bonds when bonded to each other. Remember that all bonds are partly covalent and partly ionic, however. The strongest covalent bonds are formed by the elements from group 17.

Answer 2

and again, do your own homework.

covalent bonds form between chemicals that are not ions. anything in the first, second column will pretty much always form ionic compounds. covalent bonds are where the electrons are shared relatively equally, so basically, anything in the 3-6 column will generally have covalent bonding.

Answer 3

have you just started with chemical compounds...

study your books seriously....

The atoms of covalent materials are bound tightly to each other in stable molecules, but those molecules are generally not very strongly attracted to other molecules in the material.



Elements which are close together in electronegativity tend to form covalent bonds and can exist as stable free molecules. Carbon dioxide is a common example.

for further reference go back to ur books... it would help in the long run!
