Detailed explanation-1: -In general, covalent bonds form between nonmetals, ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals, and metallic bonds form between metals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The statement that is false is d) the resulting compound has low melting and boiling point.. Metallic bonds are strong, which means they cannot dissolve in water while the resulting alloy is still a metal and retains all the properties of metals such as being a good conductor and having high melting and boiling points.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metallic bonding is mostly non-polar, because even in alloys there is little difference among the electronegativities of the atoms participating in the bonding interaction (and, in pure elemental metals, none at all). Thus, metallic bonding is an extremely delocalized communal form of covalent bonding.

Detailed explanation-5: -Covalent bonds occur between identical atoms or between different atoms whose difference in electronegativity is insufficient to allow transfer of electrons to form ions.
