generally anions are formed
electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions resulting in an ionic compound
In the chemical formula PbCl₄ (lead(IV) chloride), there are four chlorine (Cl) atoms, which are non-metal atoms. Therefore, there are a total of four non-metal atoms in PbCl₄.
metal
Covalent bonds may contain two non metal atoms. Example is CH4.
it depends on the valency of the atoms
Molecules can be made up of both metal and non-metal atoms, depending on the type of compound. For example, ionic compounds such as sodium chloride (NaCl) consist of a metal atom (sodium) and a non-metal atom (chlorine), while covalent compounds like water (H2O) can consist of non-metal atoms only.
yes both the carbon and oxygen are non metal atoms but beside this carbodioxide is lethal
Yes
A metal and a non-metal
When metals and non-metals come in contact with one another -metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ionsnon-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions
The electrons are shared between the atoms. An ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non-metal. The metal donates one or more electrons to the non-metal, causing the metal to have a positive charge. When the non-metal accepts the electrons, it becomes negatively charged, thus resulting in an attraction between the two charged ions, and forming a bond.
In Cu2O, there are 2 copper atoms, which are metals, and 1 oxygen atom, which is a non-metal. So, there is 1 non-metal atom (oxygen) in Cu2O.
