What causes low conductivity.... metal plus metal or non-metal plus non-metal or metal plus non-metal?

well, not metal+metal, but for the other 2 you'd have to specify, because water+metal=good conductivity & just water or another liquid = good conductivity. now stone, it is a horrible conductor.

Metal plus a nonmetal equals What bond?
covalent bond
Metal oxide plus nonmetal oxide equals?
salt
Choose the product metal oxide plus nonmetal oxide æ?
metal hydroxide
What kind of reaction is metal oxide plus nonmetal oxide?
synthesis
What are ionic?
Ionic compounds are compound consisting of a metal plus a nonmetal. The metal and the nonmetal both have charges that you can find on the Periodic Table, and they have to balance each other out. For example, you have MgO (Magnesium Oxide). The magnesium is the metal, the oxygen is the nonmetal, and they both have a charge of +2 and -2, so the subscripts cancel each other out.
What kind of reaction is metal oxide plus nonmetal oxide æ ternary salt?
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."
What happens when an atom of metal an atom of nonmetal are combined?
The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.

What kind of reaction is metal oxide nonmetal oxide æ ternary salt?
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."
What kind of bond is Na plus I2?
The bond formed between the two is an Ionic bond. You can tell by using the difference in the elements electronegative, or just know the general trend that a metal and nonmetal form an ionic bond.
What kind of reaction is nonmetal oxide plus water equals acid?
It is a hydration reaction.
What is a metal plus a metal?
An alloy?
