What compound is formed between metallic and nonmetallic atoms?
An ionic compound is formed between metallic and nonmetallic atoms, where the metallic atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, and the nonmetallic atom gains these electrons to become a negatively charged anion. This electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of the ionic compound.
When electrons are transfered between the atoms of metallic and nonmetallic elements what kind of bonds are formed?
When a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom have an electron transfer to form an ion, this is known as an ionic compound. For example, salt (NaCl) an electron transfer occurs. The Na, which has 1 electron on its valence shell ( outer shell) and the Cl, which has 7 electrons on its valence shell. The Na transfers its one electron to the Cl. This therefore results in the Cl having a full valence shell; at this point Cl is negative and Na is positive. We can then conclude the NaCl is an ionic compound.
Is mica metallic or non - metallic?
Mica is nonmetallic.
Is mica non metallic or metallic?
Mica is nonmetallic.
Is metallic elements more likely to lose electron than nonmetallic elements?
Yes, metallic elements are more likely to lose electrons than nonmetallic elements. This is because metallic elements have fewer valence electrons and their atomic structure makes it easier for them to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Nonmetallic elements typically gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
