Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
Is Thiamin a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?
None of the above. Thiamin is a compound and the terms metal, nonmetal and metalloid apply to elements.
Is neptunium beryllide a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Neptunium beryllide (NpBe3) is a solid chemical compound (not metal, nonmetal or metalloid).
What makes an ionic compound?
An ionic compound generally forms from a metal and a nonmetal. The nonmetal oxidizes the metal, forming a metal cation and a nonmetal anion. They ions are held together by the electrical attraction. Ions often bond in latticed structures to form crystals.
What is ionic compound composed of?
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion

Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is the element sodium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
Is SO3 a nonmetal or a metal?
SO3 is a compound and therefore is neither a metal nor a nonmetal, because these are types of chemical elements, not of compounds. This particular compound consists of two nonmetal elements, sulfur and oxygen.
Is neptunium beryllide a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Neptunium beryllide (NpBe3) is a solid chemical compound (not metal, nonmetal or metalloid).
Is Thiamin a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?
None of the above. Thiamin is a compound and the terms metal, nonmetal and metalloid apply to elements.
Is iron oxide a metal?
No, it is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Pure iron is a metal, however.
If a metal and nonmetal bond to form a compound which name is written first?
metal

Is CaCl2 a metal or nonmetal?
Calcium Chloride is an ionic compound. You see, for a substance to be classified as either a non-metal or a metal, it has to be in elemental form. Calcium Chloride is a compound, so you can't say whether it is a non-metal or a metal. However, of the elements that make up this compound, Calcium is a metal and Chlorine is a non-metal.
What kind of compound is a compound that has metal and nonmetal?
For example a salt: uranium tetrachloride - UCl4.
