Why can different numbers of metal and nonmetal atoms create ionic bonds together?
This normally due to the ability of some metals to have more than one ion. These are the transition metals and say iron has two ions, Fe2+ and Fe3+ . Mercury forms a diatomic ion Hg22+. Some non metals can form more than one sort of ion. Examples are sulfur which can form S2- and S22- and iodine can form the I3- ion
Why metals form positive and nonmetal form negative ion?
metals form positive ion because they always lose electrons and after losing electron they have excess of positive charge and have deficiency of electrons.another reason is that metals have more than 3 valence electrons and have low ionization energy
The elements most likely to form more than one type of ion are the?
The pudding is delicious here try some yum!
When naming a transition metal ion that can have more than one common ionic charge the numeric value of the charge is indicated by what?
Transition metals form more than one ionic charge; Roman numerals (in parentheses) follow the ion's name. Cu2+ is copper (II) ion.
Does CoCl2 form one type of ion or more than one type of ion?
CoCl2 forms two types of ion: Co2+ and Cl-

What kind of atoms what typically form an ion the bond?
metals and non-metals
Why are alkali metals more reactive than transition metals?
Groups 3-12 do not have individual names. Instead, all of these groups are called transition metals. The atoms of transition metals do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of the Group 1 and Group 2 metals do. So, transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals are.
What charge do metals have when they form a ion?
net negative charge
What ion charges do the alkali metals form?
Alkali metals forn cations with the chrage +1.
What kind of metals do ions form?
positive
Does CoCl2 form one type of ion or more than one type of ion?
CoCl2 forms two types of ion: Co2+ and Cl-
What ion will a metal form?
Metals lose electrons to form positive ions, or also known as cations.
Is sodium an example of an element that can form more than one ion?
Sodium forms 1 type of ion; namely, Na+.
