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
yes both the carbon and oxygen are non metal atoms but beside this carbodioxide is lethal
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
A metal and a non-metal
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.
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
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.
