∙ 11y agoAlkali earth metals will react with Group 16 elements to form ionic compounds in the ratio 2 : 1.
eg. Na2O, K2S

An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would form which type of bond?
It would form an ionic bond. The atom with 7 electrons is cation and the atom with 1 is an anion.
Why alkali metals form ionic hydrides?
SHORT ANSWER: the difference in electronegativities between H and Alkali metals is high, so the bonds are more ionic.
Is a covalent bond normally formed when an alkali metal combines with a non-metal?
No, ionic bonds form between alkali metals and nonmetals.
What types of atoms tend to form ironic?
Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic bonds to to electronegativity differences. NaCl = sodium, a Group I ( Alkali ) metal and chlorine, a Halogen of Group VII.
What elements react the best with the alkali metals?
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
Ionic bonds are formed between?
Alkali metals and halogens.
Which group of metals do halogens usually bond with offer an explanation?
For example halogens easily react with alkali metals because both are very reactive; compounds are with ionic bonds.
An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would form which type of bond?
It would form an ionic bond. The atom with 7 electrons is cation and the atom with 1 is an anion.
Why alkali metals form ionic hydrides?
SHORT ANSWER: the difference in electronegativities between H and Alkali metals is high, so the bonds are more ionic.
Can Mercury bond with Alkali Earth Metals?
In special conditions an alkali earth metal and mercury has the ability to make metallic bonds, but not covalent or ionic bonds.
Is a covalent bond normally formed when an alkali metal combines with a non-metal?
No, ionic bonds form between alkali metals and nonmetals.
What types of atoms tend to form ironic?
Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic bonds to to electronegativity differences. NaCl = sodium, a Group I ( Alkali ) metal and chlorine, a Halogen of Group VII.
Is Na an ionic bond?
Sodium can form an ionic bond, but sodium (Na) is an element from the alkali metals group.
What kind of elements form ionic bonds with nonmetals?
Metals. The two most reactive groups of metals that readily form these bonds with nonmetals are the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals. Groups 1A and 2A.
What is the characteristics of the alkali metal group?
Alkali metals are very reactive, react easily with water, forms strong bases, have low de density, have low hardness, the flame is strongly colored, forms ionic bonds, etc.
What elements react the best with the alkali metals?
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
What type of bonds are typically formed by alkali metals?
Because between these two families of chemical elements a big difference of electronegativities exist.
