A covalent bond is formed when two nonmetals combine.
What forms when 2 nonmetals combine?
a molecule
What process occurs when metals combine chemically with nonmetals?
Cprrosion
Why only Xe and Kr combine with other elements?
Only xenon and krypton combine with other elements, especially with elements of high electronegativity such as fluorine and oxygen. This is because when compared to other noble gases, the atomic size of Xe and Kr is more, due to which the attraction of the valence electons with nucleus is less. As such the valence electrons can easily undergo hybridistion and combine with other nonmetals.
What type of bond does scandium normally form?
Ionic. This is because it is part of the transition metals, which normally combine with nonmetals to form ionic bonds. A metal and a nonmetal form an ionic bond (generally), and two nonmetals tend to form covalent bonds (generally).

Oxides of most nonmetals combine with water to form?
an acid

Why do chemists call compounds salts?
not all compounds arte called salt. only those in which metal and nonmetals combine to form a compound.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes :)
Do atoms of nonmetals usually gain or share electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes.
