What are compounds formed when charged atoms join together called?

Charged atoms, called ions, form ionic compounds when they combine chemically with one another.


What is an atom is it a molecule an element or a compound?

Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. Atoms are the most basic units of an element that have the properties of that element. Atoms of elements combine to form molecules, which can be molecular compounds, and atoms of elements can combine to form ionic compounds, as well. Compounds contain atoms of two or more elements chemically combined.


Elements whose atoms can combine to form compounds?

Reactive elements have atoms that can combine to form compounds. The atoms in a compound are combined through different types of bonds, such as ionic, covalent, hydrogen, and metallic bonding. With ionic bonding, there is an exchange of electrons between atoms. Covalent bonding occurs when electrons are shared by two atoms.


What combines to form compounds?

Atoms of elements combine to form compounds. A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements that can be separated into simpler substances.


What sort of atoms do metals combine with?

Metals combine with other metals to form alloy solutions, they can form solutions with other compounds by being dissolved in them, in most cases. As well, they form ionic bonds with nonmetals.


Do you expect ionic compounds to form between two non metals?

No, ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal. When two nonmetals combine, they are more likely to form covalent compounds, where electrons are shared between atoms rather than transferred.


What are the kinds of elements that combine to form ionic compounds are what?

A metal and a nonmetal.


When two or more atoms combine they create what?

Two or more atoms combine to form a molecule.


How does atoms combine to form molecules?

They can combine in lots of ways. Some reactive elements will combine on their own but others need heating to combine. Noble gases (krypton, argon, xenon, helium, neon and radon) do not react (combine) with other atoms.
