Best Answer

Metallic minerals are composed primarily of metallic elements and have a metallic luster and other properties, such as the ability to conduct electricity. Non-metallic minerals do not have these characteristics.

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.

What has both metallic and nonmetallic preperties?

It seems like you are asking what something is that has both metallic and nonmetallic properties? If so, these elements are called metalloids, and they are located in a stairstep pattern on a periodic table, toward the right side of the table, between the metals and nonmetals.

Is antimony metallic or nonmetallic?

Antimony is a metalloid which means that it has metallic and nonmetallic properties and it is element 51 in the periodic table lying in the diagonal metalloids in the p group. The metallic and nonmetallic properties may be, for example, that it is grey and shiny like a metal but it may also be brittle and not conduct heat and electricity like a nonmetal.
