What else can I help you with?
Is iodide a metal?
No, iodide is an ion formed by the nonmetal iodine.
What does a nonmetal atom need to do to form an ion?
A non metal needs to GAIN electrons to form an ion
Is iodine a metal or non-metal and what ion does it form?
Iodine is a nonmetal and it forms the iodide ion, I-.
Is Na a metal that form positive ion?
yes
What is the metal present in potassium chloride?
It's NOT the metal as such but positive ion of the metal: Potassium, the K+ ion together with the negative chloride ion: Cl- they form the salt potassium chloride: KCl You see, it's always in the name of the salt
What is a O2?
O2- is an oxide ion which reacts with metal to form oxides of the metal. For example: MgO, Na2O
Is sulfate a metal?
Sulfate is a negative ion with the formula SO42- in order to balance the charge there needs to be a positive ion, which usually is a metal ion, but not always. However, the sulfate ion itself is not a metal nor does it contain a metal.
Is phosphate a metal?
Phosphate is an ion with the formula PO43-. The 3- indicates the charge on the ion. This ion consists of the pnonmetals phosphorus and oxygen. The negative ion must be paired with a positive ion to form an actual substance. That ion is usually a metal ion. So phosphate itself is not a metal but many phosphate compounds contain metals.
What charge does Sr form when it forms and ion?
strontium is a metal, therefore it must form only positive ions.
Hydroxides of metals form what class of compound?
Hydroxides of metals form a class of compounds known as metal hydroxides. These compounds consist of a metal ion bonded to a hydroxide ion (OH-), resulting in a basic chemical species. Metal hydroxides are often characterized by their ability to dissociate in water to form metal cations and hydroxide ions.
What are compounds composed of a metal and a non-metal known as?
Compounds composed of a metal and a non-metal are known as ionic compounds. In these compounds, the metal atom loses electrons to form a positively charged ion, while the non-metal atom gains electrons to form a negatively charged ion, resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two ions.
What type of elements tend to form ionic binary compounds?
Ionic binary compounds are typically formed by the combination of a metal with a non-metal element. The metal will lose electrons to form a positively charged ion, while the non-metal will gain electrons to form a negatively charged ion, resulting in the attraction between the opposite charges that forms the ionic bond.
