Typically metals form ionic bonds with non- metals. There are exceptions when the metal ion is small and highly charged when the bond may have more covalent character, (Fajans rules)
Metals also form covalent bonds with carbon in organometals such as grignard reagents. Transition metals form covalent bonds with many species, e.g. carbon monoxide in the carbonyls.
In alloys which are mixtures of metallic elements the bonding is the metallic bond.

When metals react with other elements what happen to the valence electrons of the metals atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Is sodium found in nature by itself or is it always found bonded to other elements?
It is always found bonded with other elements, it goes through a process to become a single element.

What are the classes of elements on the periodic table?
non-metals .... alkali metals....transition metals....alkali earth metals....rare earth metals....other metals....halogens....inert elements
Are coins an example of compound?
Most coins are made of pure elements, like copper. A compound is a combination of elements which are chemically bonded together, so they have completely different properties. While coins can contain different metals, they are usually not bonded in this way.

== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
Are most elements metals or pure?
Any metal that is not an alloy of a metal with other elements (metals, metalloids, or nonmetals) is a pure element. All of the metals listed on the Periodic Table are pure elements.
What is the difference between heavy metals and the other metals?
Scientifically speaking, there are a couple of fundamental differences between heavy metals and other metals in the table of the elements. Heavier metals tend to have more ions and typically, less toxic elements.
What block of elements on the periodic table will oxidize or lose elements?
They lose electrons, not elements. These are metals. Group I metals (IA or alkali metals), Group 2 metals (IIA or alkaline earth metals), transition metals (groups 3 thru 12), and all other metals.
