Does mercury only stick to gold?
No, mercury can also stick to other metals such as silver, copper, and zinc. Mercury forms an amalgam with these metals, meaning it can chemically bond with them to create a new compound.
What pair of atoms will form ionic bond?
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
Is mercury covalent or ionic bond?
Mercury ions are cations. Chloride ions are anions. "In an ionic bond, the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely-charged ions. In a covalent bond, the atoms are bound by shared electrons." 1 mercury ion loses 2 electrons to 2 chloride ions (i.e. 1 electron to 1 chloride ion), thus forming an ionic compound MgCl2.
What type of bond do non metals form with other non metals?
Covalent :)
What type of bonding is hg?
Hg (Mercury) is an element, not a bond. It can bond with other elements in different way to form compounds.
How many shells will transition metals use to bond with other elements?
Transition metals can use the two outermost shells/orbitals to bond with other elements.
Do metals bond with non metals?
yes they can this is an ionic bond
What pair of atoms will form an ionic bond?
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
What are metallic bonds at room temp?
Metallic bond is an electrostatic interaction between the metal ions and a sea of free electrons. Mercury is the only liquid metal, whereas all other metals are solids.
What ions will caffeine bond with?
Caffeine will typically bond with ionic bonds. It will not bond with covalent bonds because covalent bonds only bond with other metals.
What kind of bond occurs between metals and metals?
This is called a metallic bond.
What is form by the chemical bonding of two or more atoms?
molecule
