this makes ionic bonding.
yes,they do react with each other by forming a covalent bond OR say by sharing e- of valence orbit
No. Metals react with nonmetals or acids to produce salts. Salts can also form when acids react with bases.
when 2 nonmetals react, both the nonmetals expect one or the other to give them an electron. So, when they react, they both share the electron.
nonmetals
This happens when nonmetals react with metals. It is easier to gain 2 or 3 electrons than to lose 5 or 6 from their valence shell anion - negatively charged
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
Nonmetals gain electrons.
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react

Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.

Plutonium react with the majority of nonmetals; plutonium doesn't react with noble gases. Plutonium can form alloys with other metals.
No. Metals react with nonmetals or acids to produce salts. Salts can also form when acids react with bases.
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
Nobles gasses will not react with metals or most nonmetals. Only a few noble gasses compounds exits, and none exist naturally. Noble gasses will only form compounds with fluorine and oxygen.
