It depends on the elements that are combining. if they are a metal and a nonmetal then it would be an ionic compound. If they are both nonmetals then it would be a molecular compound.

What type of compound is formed when two elements with greatly different electronegativities combine?
Ionic Bonds
What is the calcium element or compound?
Calcium is an element because it contains only one type of atom i.e., Ca. Compounds are formed when elements combine i.e., there are more than one type of atoms.
A covalent compound is most likely formed from what type of elements?
2 nonmetals
How does elements combine to form elements why not compounds?
Elements are pure samples of only one type of atom. By definition, elements combing make a compound. You cannot have a pure combination of something.
When two elements chemically combine they form an?
Molecule if there is some sharing of electrons or an ionic compound if there is a donation of an electron from one atom to another.
What forms when two elements combine chemically?
This depends on the type of reaction. If one element reacts with another element, then it is a formation reaction. ex. Na + Cl ---> NaCl If a compound reacts with a compound, it is a double replacement reaction. ex. NaCl + MgO ---> Na2O + MgCl2
What type of elements combine with a covalent bond?
non-metal elements combine with covelant bonds
What type of reaction is K plus Cl - KCl?
SynthesisWhenever 2 or more elements combine to form one compound, it is a synthesis reaction.
What type of molecules are formed when atoms of different elements combine?
A combination of two atoms of different elements results in a molecule. A combination of two atoms of the same exact element results in two atoms of the same element stuck together, not a molecule. There is no name for this that I know of. --------- 1. Two oxygen atoms: a molecule of oxygen - O2. Many gases has diatomic molecules. Ozone has three oxygen atoms in molecule. 2. Allotropes can be formed from many atoms: allotropes of carbon, sulfur, phosphorus.
What general type element is involved in Type 2 compounds?
Binary compounds are those in which two elements combine. If one is a metal and the other a non-metal, the result is an ionic compound. If both are non-metals, that is called a molecular compound.
Different compounds can be formed from similar elements?
Yes. And this might blow your mind but different compounds can even be formed from the same number and type of elements. Isomers! Example: Theobromine= vasodilator Theophylline= anti-inflammatory Same amount and type of elements, but arranged differently makes a completely different compound.
When elements combine what type of change is that?
This is a chemical change.
