What compound is not likely to have ionic bonds?
Methane (CH4) is not likely to have ionic bonds because it is composed of nonmetallic elements (carbon and hydrogen) that tend to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons rather than transferring them. Ionic bonds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal.
How many types of bond can carbon atom form?
A carbon atom can form single, double, or triple bonds with other atoms.
Does neon bond to form molecules?
Neon is an inert or noble gas. It does not want to bond with other atoms because its valence shell is complete. It will not even hang out with its own kind; it's a monatomic gas. Having said that, perhaps it becomes obvious that neon doesn't form any kind of bond as we normally encounter it.
What are ionic bonds used to form?
Ionic bonds are used to form compounds between metals and nonmetals. These bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic attraction.
What element can make ionic and covalent bonds?
Many elements can form ionic and covalent bonds.With metals the non metals generally form ionic bonds- but with other non-metals they form covalent bonds. Examples:- The halogens (group 17) are covalent diatomic molecules, e.g. F2, Cl2 but generally form ionic compounds with metals . Oxygen forms ions, O2- in metallic oxides but bonds covalently to hydrogen in water nitrogen in ammonia, sulfur in H2S etc hydrogen forms the hydride ion in compounds such as LiH but bonds covalently in water and when bonded to carbon nitrogen forms the N3- ion in compounds such as Li3N but bonds covalently with oxygen in nitrogen dioxide.
