Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bond,but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds because they have a great tendency to lose electrons.

Reason that is associated with why it is possible for atoms of metallic elements to form ionic bond, even though they are not consider as a good former of covalent bonds is : Because They loose their electron readily and no attraction for electron addition.

  • Covalent bond needs sharing of electron, but metal cannot hold unto electron enough, they have the tendency to lose the electrons.

  • They are ready to loose the electron out which doesn't give room for sharing between other atoms.

Therefore, they can only form few covalent bonds.
