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.
What pair of atoms will form an ionic bond?

What type of bond do non metals form with other non metals?
Covalent :)
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.
What metals bond with other elements using metallic bonding?
Predominantly transition metals.
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.
Can Mercury bond with Alkali Earth Metals?
In special conditions an alkali earth metal and mercury has the ability to make metallic bonds, but not covalent or ionic bonds.
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.
When sulfur and fluorine bond what kind of bond is this?
the bond is covalent two non metals bonding with each other create a covalent bond
How do you know if a bond is ionic or convalent?
An Ionic bond is metals bonding to non-metals. A Covalent bond is non-metals bonding to non-metals.
Do metals bond with non metals?
yes they can this is an ionic 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.
