What else can I help you with?
Are molecular compounds usually non-metals?
Yes, most molecular compounds do not contain metals. (The term "nonmetal" properly applies only to elements, not compounds.)
Why are nonmetal compounds gases at room temperature?
very few compounds of either metals or nonmetals are gasses at room temperature.for example lets look at the oxides of semiconductors:carbon - CO2, gassilicon - SiO2, solidgermanium - GeO2, solid
What is produced when group 1 elements react with nonmetal elements?
When group 1 elements (such as lithium, sodium, potassium) react with nonmetal elements, they typically form ionic compounds. These compounds consist of a metal cation from the group 1 element and a nonmetal anion, resulting in salts like lithium chloride (LiCl), sodium fluoride (NaF), or potassium iodide (KI).
Is ammonia a binary acid?
No, ammonia is not a binary acid. Binary acids are compounds composed of hydrogen and one other element, usually a nonmetal. Ammonia is a compound made up of nitrogen and hydrogen, so it is not a binary acid.
Why is the element at the bottom in a electric kettle?
It is not an element... for hard water usually a build up calcium compounds.
Is a nonmetal usually brittle or malleable?
non-metals are normally prittle, with one important exception being complex organic compounds like rubber.
What is a good sentence for nonmetal?
Plastic is usually a nonmetal material.
Is vanadium usually found as an element in a compound or in a mixture?
Vanadium is found i compounds and iron alloys.
What kind of element is usually dull in color does not conduct electricity does not bend or stretch very much and breaks easily?
These are characteristics of solid nonmetal elements.
Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?
Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.
When a metal reacts with a nonmetal are the substances good conductors of electric current?
It depends on the nature of the metal-nonmetal compound formed. Metal-nonmetal compounds, known as ionic compounds, are usually poor conductors of electric current in solid state due to the lack of free-moving electrons. However, when dissolved in water or melted, they can conduct electricity due to the presence of mobile ions.
This type of compound is usually formed when you burn an element in air?
Oxides are the type of compound that is typically formed when an element is burned in air. Oxides are compounds composed of an element combined with oxygen.
