Which element forms an ionic compound when it forms with lithium?
Bromine (Br) All nonmetals except the noble gasses will react with lithium to form ionic compounds.
What element forms covalent compounds only?
Nonmetals, such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, typically form covalent compounds. These elements have high electronegativity values and tend to share electrons with other nonmetals to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Can beryllium form compounds with any other element?
Beryllium can form binary compounds with the majority of the nonmetals and metalloids.
Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?
Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.
What is a element with two or more nonmetals bonded together called?
an molecule. Though if there are two or more different nonmetals it would not be an element but a compound.
Which type of element is more likely to gain electrons when it forms bonds?
nonmetals
What element forms more compounds than any other element and compounds containing it are called organic compounds?
uranis has the most compounds
Most of the time the oxidation number of the nonmetals are?
Negative (such as -2 in compounds like O2 or Cl-) or positive (such as +3 in compounds like NCl3), depending on the element and the compounds involved.
Is sulphur an ionic or covalent compound?
Sulphur is a nonmetal element that forms covalent compounds because it tends to share electrons with other nonmetals rather than transfer them to form ions.
What links with a nonmetal?
A nonmetal typically forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals or with metalloids. Nonmetals can also react with metals to form ionic compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can combine with nonmetallic elements to form compounds, such as sulfur combining with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.
What element has more known compounds than any other element?
I would expect Carbon to be the element that forms more compounds than any other element.
Which element forms the largest number of compounds after carbon?
After carbon, The element having largest number of compounds is Hydrogen.
