a. it forms ionic bonds by sharing electrons 
b. it forms covalent bonds by donation electrons 
c. it forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons

rushwr · Answer

Actually it won't form ionic bonds.  Covalent bonds are formed by sharing electrons . SO  I would go with C

anonymous · Answer

It might form ionic bonds but not by sharing electrons because then the bond wont be ionic. also it cannot form a covalent bond by donating electrons because that is not how covalent bonds work so it is C.

Formation of ionic bonds here is highly unfavorable so it is very rare.
