The compounds that have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme are diamond and silica.

A covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals. Usually, when two nonmetals combine, electrons are shared between the two atoms involved in the bond.

Now, the solids diamond and silica are predominantly covalent solids. The atoms that combine in diamond are carbon atoms(nonmetals) while the atoms that combine in silica are silicon and oxygen (nonmetals also)

Hence, diamond and silica both have covalent bonding as their dominant bonding scheme.

There are two different compounds of sulfur and fluorine.

weqwewe [10]

Atomic mass of F: 19.0 g/mol

Atomic mass of S: 32.1 g/mol

1.18 g F = [1.18 g / 19.0 g / mol] = 0.062 mol F

1 g S = 1 g/ 32.1 g/mol = 0.031 mol S

Divide by 0.031

0.062 mol F / 0.031 = 2 mol F

0.031 mol S / 0.031 = 1 mol S

SF2 Then X = 2

Verification:
F2 = 2*19.0 g = 38 g F
S = 32.1 g

36 gF / 32.1 g S = 1.18 g F / g S
