What type of oxides are formed when non metals combine with oxygen?
acidic oxides
What plus oxygen forms a acidic oxide?
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
To metals and non-metals alike this element bonds like epoxy generally in a very exothermic manner?
The element that bonds to metals and non metals like epoxy is oxygen. Oxygen is required for combustion, present as O2 (g) near Earth's surface, and as O3 (g) ozone in the atmosphere.
Which type of elements form covalent bond?
Non-metals generally form covalent bonds when they combine with another non metals
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 type of oxides are formed when non metals combine with oxygen?
acidic oxides
What plus oxygen forms a acidic oxide?
Most of the non-metals combine with oxygen to form acidic oxides.
Do metals combine with non metals?
yes
Where are non metals found in nature?
There are many non metals that are found in nature. These non metals include all gasses like oxygen and hydrogen.
Where are the most reactive non metals?
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
To metals and non-metals alike this element bonds like epoxy generally in a very exothermic manner?
The element that bonds to metals and non metals like epoxy is oxygen. Oxygen is required for combustion, present as O2 (g) near Earth's surface, and as O3 (g) ozone in the atmosphere.
What is the chemical behavior of zinc?
It is a fairly reactive metal that will combine with oxygen and other non-metals, and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen.
Are all non metals magnetic?
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..
What type of atoms combine to form a ionic bond?
Metals and non-metals
How do non metals react with oxygen?
Oxidation of non-metals (and some metals) is a fire.
Which type of elements form covalent bond?
Non-metals generally form covalent bonds when they combine with another non metals
What columns on the periodic table would combine well in order for both to be more stable?
Metals and non-metals combine. They form ionic bonds.
