What does HCl combine with to form CO2?
Carbonate salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals, under favorable conditions.
What do Halogens react to form?
Metals and halogens bonded together usually make a salt. For example, sodium (an alkali metal) and chlorine (a halogen) makes sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. But potassium bromide, calcium fluoride, even cobalt(II) iodide are technically salts as well. And metals with polyatomic ions can also be considered salts, like magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), commonly called epsom salt.
Why do halogens form ionic compounds with metals?
Halogens have a high electronegativity and metals have a low electronegativity in general. Therefore, metals tend to give up their valence electrons to the halogens. This causes the halogens to form negatively charged ions and the metals to become positively charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond which forms the ionic compound.
Elements from which two groups in the periodic table would most likely combine with each other to form an ionic compound?
carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins
What is a combination of two or more element?
A combination of two or more elements is called a compound. These elements are held together by chemical bonds and can be separated using chemical reaction.
Which two families of elements often combine to form ''salts''?
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
Which group of elements on the periodic table form salts by combining with metals?
Halogens form salts by combining with metals. Halogens are in the 17th group of the periodic table. Sodium chloride,Potassium iodide are some examples.
Why are halogens known as salts?
Halogens are not salts but they are chemical elements; halogens can form salts reacting with metals.
What are highly reactive and readily form salts with metals?
Halogens are highly reactive and readily form salts with metals.
What group of elements combine with other elements to form salts?
Metals form salts.
Halogens form what when mixed with alkali metals?
The products of the reactions are ionic salts.
What allows halogens to form salts?
Halogens are highly reactive chemical elements.
How halogen got its name?
it is combination of two greek words "hallo means salts" and "gen means generate" .. experiments showed that they form salts when combine with alkali metals so they were named halogens means salt formers.
Elements that are active strongly nonmetallic and react readily with metals to form salts are called what?
Elements that form salts by combining with metals are called halogens. All synthetic elements are radioactive. Elements that lie along the stair step line of the periodic table are metalloids.
When elements combine they form what compounds?
If the elements are both non-metals, they form a molecular compound. If they are both metals, they form a metallic bonds. If they are a metal and a non-metal they form ionic bonds (salts). (Ammonium salts are non-metals.)
What happens when you react an alkali metal with a metalloid?
They combine directly to form salts. E.g. lithium + fluorine -- > lithium fluoride if i am not mistaken..
What does HCl combine with to form CO2?
Carbonate salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals, under favorable conditions.
