Answer:

Only between nonmetals

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Covalent compounds are compounds that are formed as a result of covalent bonding between nonmetal atoms.
  • Covalent compounds occur only between non metals, where atoms of the nonmetals involved join to form a covalent bond as a result of sharing of electrons.
  • Electrons shared during the formation of covalent bond, may be from one atom involved or each atom contributing equally to the bond formation.
  • An example of covalent compounds include, phosphorus (v) oxide, methane, water, CO2,etc.
