Consider the following elements: tellurium, rubidium, bismuth, astatine, and strontium.
Identify the element that would form both a covalent and an ionic bond. (Note: There could be more than one answer.) Explain.

Tellurium, bismuth, and astatine can form both ionic and covalent bonds because they can accept electrons from metals and share electrons with another nonmetal.

Tellurium, rubidium, and strontium can form both ionic and covalent bonds because they can accept electrons from metals and share electrons with another nonmetal.

Tellurium, rubidium, and strontium can form both ionic and covalent bonds because they can accept electrons from nonmetals and share electrons with another metal.

Tellurium, bismuth, and astatine can form both ionic and covalent bonds because they can accept electrons from nonmetals and share electrons with another metal.
