What type of bond is between Metals with nonmetals of differing electronegativities?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed. If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is below 1.7, then polar covalent bond is formed.

What are the general and characteristics of metals and non metals and metalloids?
Metals: Shiny 'metallic' appearance Solids at room temperature (except mercury) High melting points High densities Large atomic radii Non Metals: High ionization energies High electronegativities Poor thermal conductors Poor electrical conductors Brittle solids Little or no metallic luster Gain electrons easily Metalloids: Electronegativities between those of metals and nonmetals Ionization energies between those of metals and nonmetals Possess some characteristics of metals/some of nonmetals Reactivity depends on properties of other elements in reaction Often make good semiconductors
Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
What kind of bonds do metals and nonmetals form?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
Are Ba and Ca metals or nonmetals?
they are metals
What is the extremely reactive nonmetals readily with the alkali metals to form salt?
The cause is the big difference between electronegativities.
What type of bond is between Metals with nonmetals of similar electronegativities?
Generally, an ionic bond is formed between a metal atom and a non metal atom.
What is the metallic properties?
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.
What is reactivity of properties of metals?
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.

Why do atoms form convalent and not ionic bonds?
The difference in electronegativity determines the type of chemical bonding between atoms. Metals and nonmetals often have a large difference in electronegativity, and tend to form ionic bonds, while nonmetals bonded to nonmetals tend to have smaller electronegativities and tend to form covalent bonds.
Some properties of non metals?
Nonmetals have high ionization energies and electronegativities. They are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity. Solid nonmetals are generally brittle, with little or no metallic luster. Most nonmetals have the ability to gain electrons easily.
What is the difference between metals and nonmetals in regards to how they conduct electricity?
Metals generally are good conductors of electricity, and nonmetals are not.
Molecules form between whereas ionic compounds form between?
nonmetals; nonmetals and metals
Do metaloids contain metals and nonmetals?
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Which group of elements form cations?
what are true about cationA.Metals are not likely to form cations.B.Cations are always smaller than the neutral form of the element.C.Cation size decreases as you go down a group.D.All cations are larger than any anion.E.Cations cannot form in nature.
What is the element between the metals and nonmetals?
Metaloids
