Is CsF covalent or ionic bond?
Cesium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and nonmetal bond, they form an ionic bond.
How are atoms held together in molecules?
Various things. If it is a nonmetal and nonmetal it going to be a covalent bond. If it is a metal and nonmetal it is going to be an ionic bond. If it is a metal and metal then it is a metallic bond.
What best describes how an ionic bond forms?
A metal and nonmetal react to form an ionic bond. This bond is the result of the nonmetal "desiring" electrons to fill out its valence, and a metal "desiring" to give up its electrons so that it can fill out its valence. This forms a tight bond, because the opposite charges bind them together.
Why is Li2S an Ionic bond?
It is ionic because it is between a metal and a nonmetal.
Is non metal and metal a covalent bond?
No, the combination of a nonmetal with a metal produces an ionic bond.
Is CsF covalent or ionic bond?
Cesium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and nonmetal bond, they form an ionic bond.
How is an ionic bond different than a covalent bond?
ionic bond conects a nonmetal and a metal. covalent bond connects a nonmetal and another nonmetal.
Why ionic bond i formed when 2 nonmetal combine?
Ionic bond is specific for metal-nonmetal combinations.
Can carbon and magnesium for an ionic bond?
no. an ionic bond is formed when a metal and nonmetal bond. a metallic bond is formed when a metal and another metal bond. potassium and magnesium are both metals so it forms a metallic bond. (covalent bond = nonmetal + nonmetal)
Are likely to form a ionic bond?
A metal and a nonmetal can form an ionic bond.

What in an ionic compounds?
An ionic compound is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal.
Why is Li2S an Ionic bond?
It is ionic because it is between a metal and a nonmetal.
Is non metal and metal a covalent bond?
No, the combination of a nonmetal with a metal produces an ionic bond.
What bond is when oxygen is a nonmetal and calcium is metal?
Ionic
What bond is formed between a metal and nonmetal?
Ionic
