What else can I help you with?
A non-metal bonding to a non- metal makes what charge?
it depends on the valency of the atoms
What scientific term can be used to describe carbon and hydrogen?
Compounds with just hydrogen and carbon are referred to as hydrocarbons.Hydrogen is a non-metal. It is the simplest element in the periodic table.Carbon is a special non-metal, it has a valency of 4 which allows it to form complex structures with not only itself but other elements, carbon is the basis of life.
If a metal X with valency 3 combines with a non-metal Y with a valency 2, what will be the formula of the compound formed when X and Y combines?

Is carbon in the non metal or metal family?
Carbon is a non-metal.
Is carbon and potassium a non metal?
Carbon is a non-metal while potassium is a metal.
Is carbon element of metal?
Carbon is an element. It is a non metal
How come carbon isn't a metal?
because it has non of the aspects of carbon! this makes it a non metal
How do you identify valency of any atom?
The easiest way to determine the valency of an atom is to locate its place on the periodic table. Generally, it is useful to remember that metals tend to give away valence electrons where non metal atoms tend to obtain them. For example, sodium, a metal, is in group 1 has valency of 1. Sulfur, a non metal, is in group 16 and is 2 electrons away from its stable electron configuration, hence it has valency of 2.
Are diamonds metal or non metals?
No. A pure diamond is carbon, and it is an allotrope of this element in the same way that graphite (pencil lead) is an allotrope of carbon. Thus, diamond is not a metal because carbon is not a metal.
Is CBr4 metal or non-metal?
Yes
Is carbon metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Carbon is a nonmetal.
How is carbon classified?
Carbon is a non metal.
