If you're asking how metals and non-metals bond, they do so via ionic bonding. The structure of such chemicals is usually crystalline. The metal usually carries a positive ionic charge (loses 1 or more electrons) while the non-metal usually carries a negative ionic charge (gains 1 or more electrons). The most common example would be Table salt; Sodium Chloride, NaCl.
Metals include: lead, gold, silver, calcium, magnesium, uranium. Non-metals include: carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, helium.
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.
Non metals
nitrogen
No. All non-metals are not non-magnetic. just like hydrogen which is a non-metal but it is a diamagnetic... another example of oxygen, which is a non-metal but it is paramagnetic... and there are alot of non-metals which are magnetic also..
Non metals
all are non metals
non metals
They are in between the metals and non metals
They have properties of metals and non-metals, and also have properties that are around '1/2' of both. An example is silicon, which has a high melting point and is solid (metallic properties). However it is very brittle and it forms an acidic oxide (non-metal). It is a semi-conductor.
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
My opinion would be metal. Since non metals are brittle and dull, I disagree with the non-metals.
