Will the radioactive property remain in an ionic compound when a metal element is highly radioactive combined with a non-metal element which is non-radioactive?

A radioactive material is radioactive. Period. The atoms of radioactive material have unstable nuclei. If you combine them with other material, the radioactive material will remain unaffected as regards its radioactivity. Recall that radioactivity is related to the instability of atomic nuclei, and the atomic structure of atomic nuclei are (in general) not involved in chemical bonding. Chemical bonding doesn't affect the stability of the nuclei of atoms. If they are unstable, they will remain so whether the atoms are alone or chemically combined with something else.

What is formed when two metals or a metal and nonmetal are combined?
I don't know but what i do know is that two metals combined form a strip of metal called Bimetallic.
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
Ionic or covalent compounds?
Ionic compounds are metals and nonmetals combined to form a compound. KI= Potassium (metal) Iodide(nonmetal) Covalent compounds are nonmetals and nonmetals combined. NO2= Nitrogen (nonmetal) Dioxide (nonmetal)
When a nonmetal bonds with a nonmetal it forms what?
A covalent compound
Is Iodine a non-radioactive metal?
No: Iodine is not a metal at all, but a nonmetal. It is not necessarily radioactive, but has some radioactive isotopes.
What is the chemical compound that contains a nonmetal chemically combined with oxygen?
This is an oxide.
What is a chemical compound that contains a nonmetal chemically combined with oxygen'?
This is an oxide.
Is Rn radioactive nonmetals?
Yes, Rn is radon a radioactive nonmetal. But the symbol Rn does not stand for "radioactive nonmetal." Rn Radon has no stable isotopes, so yes it is always a radioactive nonmetal.
What are formed when two metals or a metal and nonmetal are combined?
A covalent bond is formed. A molecular compound is formed.

What metal is likely to lose 3 electrons when combined with a nonmetal?
Look at the periodic table of the Elements. Go to group three. All the metals down that list will lose 3 electrons with combined with a nonmetal to form an ionic compound.
What is a radioactive nonmetal At Po Ra Xe none of these?
None of these options are correct. The radioactive nonmetal element is polonium (Po). It is a highly toxic and rare element that undergoes radioactive decay.
