What kind of bond will form between the atoms?

(options: ionic, polar covalent, nonpolar covalent or metallic)

Phosphorus and chlorine

Potassium and oxygen

Fluorine and fluorine

Copper and aluminum

Carbon and fluorine

Carbon and hydrogen

Aluminum and oxygen

Silver and copper

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to Chemistry so a brief explanation would also be very helpful! Thank you!! :)

ionic bond:

Bond formed when an atom donates its electron and other atom receives those electrons.

polar covalent:

Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Nonpolar covalent:

Bond formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Metallic:

Formed between two metals.

So the bond between :

Phosphorus and chlorine-polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Potassium and oxygen -ionic bond as here potassium donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons

Fluorine and fluorine -Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Copper and aluminum-metallic bond as Formed between two metals.

Carbon and fluorine -polar covalent bond as it is formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is an electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Carbon and hydrogen --Non polar covalent bond as formed by equal sharing of electrons between both the atoms and there is no electronegativity difference between the two atoms.

Aluminum and oxygen--ionic bond as here aluminum donates its electron and oxygen receives those electrons

Silver and copper --metallic bond as Formed between two metals.
