No, a base is a substance that raises pH when added to water. While some bases do indeed release metal and nonmetal ions, many do not, and many that release metal/nonmetal ions are not bases.

When an elemental metal combines with an elemental nonmetal it forms?
binary ionic compound
What makes an ionic compound?
An ionic compound generally forms from a metal and a nonmetal. The nonmetal oxidizes the metal, forming a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. They ions are held together by the electrical attraction. Ions often bond in latticed structures to form crystals.
Which kind of compound generally results when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms?
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
When an elemental metal combines with an elemental nonmetal it forms a A covalent compound B binary ionic compound C double salt D polar covalent compound?

What is a compound that forms metal and non-metals ions when it dissolves in water?
This is typical behavior of soluble salts: metal cations (+) and nonmetal anions (-)
When oxygen is bonded to a metal it forms a n compound when it is bonded to a nonmetal it forms a n compound?
it forms (ionic, covalent) your answer

What combination forms a salt two nonmetals two metal a metal and nonmetal or a nonmetal and a noble gas?
A metal and a nonmetal; but exceptions exist.

How do you know what kind of bond sodium and bromine form?
Generally a metal with a nonmetal forms an ionic bond. Sodium is a metal and bromine is a nonmetal, so they will form an ionic bond, forming the compound sodium bromide, NaBr.
Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
