Do nonmetals or metals have high thermal and electrical conductivity?
Both thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity tend to be higher in metals than in most other materials.
Can the shape of metals be easily changed?
The shape of all metals (when in solid state) can be easily changed.
Are some nonmetals magnetic?
all non metals are nonmagnetic not all non metals are non magnetic, there is a certain nonmetal that is magnetic but i am not really sure what is it.
Which group of elements form cations?
what are true about cationA.Metals are not likely to form cations.B.Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.C.Cation size decreases as you go down a group.D.All cations are larger than any anion.E.Cations cannot form in nature.
Do the negative ions tend to be metals or nonmetals?
No, maybe, probably, hopefully, yes, absolutely, then again, um, sure?
Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
What process occurs when metals combine chemically with nonmetals?
Cprrosion
How do you find out that a given molecule is ionic or covalent or both?
Generally, metals and nonmetals combine to form ionic compounds, and nonmetals combine to form molecules.
What do non metals and metals tend to do?
Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic compounds by forming ionic bonds when they combine.
What element forms compounds with nonmetals?
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
What sort of atoms do metals combine with?
Metals combine with other metals to form alloy solutions, they can form solutions with other compounds by being dissolved in them, in most cases. As well, they form ionic bonds with nonmetals.
What are 2 charactistics of non-metals?
Metals and Nonmetals have specific characteristics. Two characteristics of Nonmetals are typically brittle and do not shape easily, and they do not conduct heat or electricity well.
When metals combine with nonmetals the metallic atom tends to?
lose electrons and become positive ions
What type of bonding happens to metalloids and metals and why?
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.
What is the most reactive group of a metals and nonmetals?
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
Do metals or nonmetals tend to gain electrons more easily?
nonmetals are located in the right side of the periodic table. The Ionization energy(the amount of energy used to remove an electron) tends to increase from left to right across a period.It is difficult to remove the electrons from the right side because they are becoming stable
