No. The are many metal-metal alloys. Stainless steel and brass for instance.

Do alloys only form when a metal bonds with a nonmetal?
No. In some definitions, the metals have very similar atomic radii. In others, they are very different; hence the size of the atoms has nothing to do with whether an alloy is formed.
Calcium and iodine covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are formed between non-metals only, while ionic bonds are formed between metals and non-metals. Since calcium is a metal and iodine is a non-metal, this would not be a covalent bond.
What is molecular bonds?
molecules glued together with super gluee. this kind of bond can only be formed between a metal and a non metal
What types of atoms compose each type of compound only metals only nonmetal or both?
For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.
Do all magnets attract to all metal?
no. They only attract to Nickel, Cobalt, Iron, and certain alloys.
Do alloys only form when a metal bonds with a nonmetal?
No. In some definitions, the metals have very similar atomic radii. In others, they are very different; hence the size of the atoms has nothing to do with whether an alloy is formed.
Calcium and iodine covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are formed between non-metals only, while ionic bonds are formed between metals and non-metals. Since calcium is a metal and iodine is a non-metal, this would not be a covalent bond.
Do ionic bonds form molecules?
No. Ionic bonds form crystals, and metallic bonds form metals or metal alloys. Only covalent bonding creates what we call a molecule.

Do chlorine form alloys?
no, because it is a non-metal and only metals can form alloys
What kind of atoms form metallic bonds?
A positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it.
Explain in terms of structure and bonding the difference between a pure metal and an alloy?
Pure metal is a simple element. It does not have any impurities in it. Metals can also be defined as the elements having +ion's or cations in it. They always have more protons than electrons in it. Nature of their oxides are basic. They always form ionic bonds.Ionic bonds means bonds formed by transfering of electrons to other atom. They only combines with non metals. But on the other hand, Alloys are mixtuqe of two or more elements.They have a pretty complex structure.These alloy are always formed by ionic bonds.
Are ionic bonds both nonmetals?
No. Ionic bonds have a metal and a non metal. Convalent/molecular bonds contain only nonmetals.
What are the properties of a mellalic bond?
Metallic bonds are formed only between metal atoms. Further, unlike any other type of chemical bonding, metallic bonds contain a 'sea' of electrons.
Can you deflect metal with magnetism?
Only if 1) the metal is magnetic (Iron, Nickel, Cobalt or magnetic alloys) or 2) the metal is carrying current
