The element that is more likely to form a covalent bonds is silicon (si)

Silicon looks like brown powder in random form; it also looks like a silver-gray metallic-looking when it’s in crystalline form.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Silicon is regarded as a semi-conductor, which implies that it possesses electronic conductivity between conductor and insulator while its conductivity rises with temperature. With all these properties, silicon is considered to be a very important element in electronics.

Silicon has four valence electrons which can form a covalent bonds by sharing its electrons. Also, when in its solid form, silicon doesn’t react with water or oxygen because it is an inert element.

However, a covalent bonds is also known as a molecular bond. It refers to a chemical link involving two atoms in which there is a sharing of electron between them. The electrons shared between the two atoms is called bonding pairs.

Some of the interaction involves covalent bonding include:

  • Metal to metal bonding
  • Bent bonds
  • Agnostic interaction

Covalent bonding can also be found in some chemical species, for example, macromolecules and radicals.

However, there are two types of covalent bonds and they include

  • Polar
  • Nonpolar

Therefore, the element that is most likely to form a covalent bonds is silicon (Si)

<span>Answer: K because it is metal and typically forms ionic bonds. Ar is also unlikely to form any bonds because it has a full outer shell of electrons, but it can form covalent bonds.</span>
