Is covalent a metal or nonmetal?
Covalent bonding is a type not found in metals (there mainly metal bonds or ionic bonds) In nonmetals more covalent bonding is common.
What type of bond does C2H6 have?
well C is carbon, carbon is a nonmetal H is hydrogen and it's also a nonmetal when you have two nonmetal it is a COVALENT compound when you have a metal and a nonmetal it is IONIC compound example: NaAr sodium and argon one is a metal and on is a nonmetal
Is NaCl ionic bonding or covalent bonding?
It is ionic bonding because Na is sodium which is a metal and Cl is chlorine which is a nonmetal. Ionic Bonding happens between nonmetals and nonmetals.
Why do covalent bonds not result in a charged ion?
Covalent bonds can result in a compound with a charge, but it is not considered an ion because an ion is strictly between the bonding of a nonmetal with a metal.
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.

How is an ionic bond related to a covalent bond?
Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a nonmetal whereas covalent bonding occurs between two nonmetals.

What is a ionic a nonmetal or metal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
Is ionic bonds a metal or nonmetal?

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.
Is N2F2 covalent or ionic?
difluorodiazine contains Nitrogen and Fluorine whitch are both nonmetal elements so it is covalent. General rule; nonmetal to nonmetal = covalent nonmetal to metal = ionic except in acids
How is an ionic bond different than a covalent bond?
ionic bond conects a nonmetal and a metal. covalent bond connects a nonmetal and another nonmetal.
Expain why ionic compounds are formed when a metal atom bonds with a nonmetal but covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetals bond?
In order to stay stable, nonmetals must share electrons. A metal bonding with a nonmetal is able to stay stable without sharing.
Is CsF covalent or ionic bond?
Cesium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and nonmetal bond, they form an ionic bond.
