True. It depends what you mean by "ways."
For example, iron forms two chlorides, ferrous chloride, FeCl2, and ferric chloride, FeCl3.
Also, hydrogen and chlorine form a covalent compound HCl(g). But if you dissolve the gas in water, they're bonded as the ionic hydrochloric acid, H+Cl-.
And oxygen bonds with itself to form "dioxygen," O=O, or ozone, O3.

Sure. Carbon can bond with a couple of pi orbitals or 4 sp3 orbitals.
