Question

What kind of elements form covalent compounds?

Answer 1

Well, covalent bonding usually occurs between non-metals.
So some examples of covalent compounds may include:

O2 – oxygen.
Cl2 – chlorine.
H2 – hydrogen

as these all occur between non metals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom. In general, ionic bonds occur between elements that are far apart on the periodic table.
