Is beryllium oxide a non metal?
Beryllium oxyde (BeO) is a chemical compound, not a metal or a nonmetal.
What is the rule used for naming a binary compound composed of a metal bonded to a nonmetal?
The first is the metal, the second is the nonmetal with the suffix -ide; ex.: sodium chloride.
What types of ef elements make up a ionic compound?
A metal and a nonmetal
What happens when an atom of metal an atom of nonmetal are combined?
The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.
What happens when you mix a metal cation with a nonmetal anion?
An Ionic compound (salt) is produced.
Is NaBrO3 molecular or ionic?
If a compound contains at least one metal atom and at least one nonmetal atom, the compound is ionic. Na (Sodium) is a metal. Br (Bromine) is a nonmetal. Therefore, the compound NaBr is ionic.
What is A is a material made of two or more elements at least one of which is metal?
If it is composed of a metal and a nonmetal, then it will most likely be an ionic compound.
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.
what usually happens when a metal reacts with a nonmetal?
electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions resulting in an ionic compound
Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is the element sodium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
IS LiI ionic or molecular?
Lithium iodide is an ionic compound. Usually, a bond between a metal and a nonmetal is ionic.
Is SO3 a nonmetal or a metal?
SO3 is a compound and therefore is neither a metal nor a nonmetal, because these are types of chemical elements, not of compounds. This particular compound consists of two nonmetal elements, sulfur and oxygen.
A compound made of a metal and a nonmetal is a?
Usually an ionically bonded salt. For Study Island~ binary ionic compound When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride. Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)
Is Thiamin a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?
None of the above. Thiamin is a compound and the terms metal, nonmetal and metalloid apply to elements.
Is neptunium beryllide a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Neptunium beryllide (NpBe3) is a solid chemical compound (not metal, nonmetal or metalloid).
Is iron oxide a metal?
No, it is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Pure iron is a metal, however.
