Is negative ions metal or nonmetal?
nonmetal
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 (-)
How is a chemical bond formed between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom?
by an ionic bond, which is the electrostatic attraction between positively charged ions
What do metals become after the donate electrons?
Metal --> electrons + Metal ions (positively charged)
Do metal atoms decrease in size when they combines with nonmetal atom?
As metals have to become metal ions in order to chemically combined with nonmetals they have to lose their valance electrons. This process is associated with making the atoms smaller.
Is a base a compound that forms metal and nonmetal ions when it dissolves in water?
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.
Is Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal?
Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.
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.
Is negative ions metal or nonmetal?
nonmetal
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 (-)
Polyatomic ions are metal or nonmetal?
Plyatomic ions are compound bonds of metal.Therefore, they are metals
What type of bond will form between Na and I?
Na and S will form an ionic bond because Na is a nonmetal and S is a metal. Therefore when a metal and nonmetal bond, it forms an ionic bond.
What forms ionic bond?
Ionic bonds are bonds formed by a nonmetal and a metal atom. On the contrary, covalent bonds are molecules formed by two or more nonmetal atoms.
When a compound that forms metals and nonmetal ions when dissolved in water is called a?
it is called an electrolyte!
what usually happens when a metal reacts with a nonmetal?
electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions resulting in an ionic compound
How does sulfur forms its ion?
ions are formed based upon the valence electrons of the element and if the element is a metal or a nonmetal. S has 6 valence electrons and needs 2 more to be stable. it is a nonmetal. therefore, taking on 2 electrons gives S a -2 charge
What is the basic rule for predicting how the ions of a metal and a nonmetal will react to form a compound?
This depends on the value of electronegativity.
