metals react with oxygen to form metallic oxide
metals react with water to form metal hydrogen with liberation of hydrogen
metals react with acid to form metal salts with liberation of hydrogen
non metals react with oxygen to form nonmetallic oxide
I think metaloids

Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Both metals and nonmetals can form covalent bonds, but nonmetals do so more often.
nonmetals; nonmetals and metals
Metals and nonmetals generally form ionic bonds.
Compounds between metals and nonmetals are predominantly ionic because there is a large difference in electronegativity between most metals and most nonmetals.
Metals and nonmetals form ionic compounds.
Metals and nonmetals form ionic compounds when chemically bonded.
Metals. The two most reactive groups of metals that readily form these bonds with nonmetals are the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals. Groups 1A and 2A.
the metals with nonmetals
Sure. All sorts of metals and non-metals combine and form useful things.
Nonmetals tend to form anions (negatively charged) because they gain electrons from the metals.
Do you mean 'why do metals and nonmetals react together?' Well here's the answer for the Q I think you requested: Not all metals and nonmetals react. Some nonmetals like the nobles gases (elements like helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon) are very unreactive and won't react with metals. But some metals and nonmetals react to form an Ionic compound because they are more stable once reacted to form a product.
Metals have a low electronegativity compared to nonmetals.
no, nonmetals replace nonmetals and metals replace metals.
Nonmetals generally are more electronegative than metals, meaning that they have a stronger pull on their electrons - thus when they form ions, metals give up electrons (forming cations) and nonmetals take up electrons (forming anions).
Can both form molecules.
Nonmetals burning in oxygen form covalent type compounds, as compared to metals which form ionic compounds.
Metals transfer their electrons to nonmetals in order to reach the "octet" or 8 electrons in the valence shell.
Metals and nonmetals most frequently react to form ionic network solids known as salts.
when they form compounds with metals or other non-metals
Metals form positive ions. Nonmetals, however, for negative ions.
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
Nonmetals tend to form negative ions.
metals tend to form cations and nonmetals form anions because metals lose electrons and non metals gain electrons
Metals can only bond with nonmetals and nonmetals can bond with other nonmetals.
