Look at the number of bonding domains. for example, Calcium has a charge of +2 and oxygen has a charge of -2. They bond, and calcium gives up 2 electrons to the same oxygen, creating a double bond, forming a binary compound (Calcium Oxide) It all depends on the elements. The main thing is the number of electrons being transfered.
Some atoms can share multiple pairs of electrons, forming multiple covalent bonds. For example, oxygen (which has six valence electrons) needs two electrons to complete its valence shell. When two oxygen atoms form the compound O 2, they share two pairs of electrons, forming two covalent bonds.
