Why covalent bond generally forms between atoms of non metal?
The electronegativity difference between nonmetals is relatively small, so such compounds are nearly always covalent. On the other hand the electronegativity difference between a metal and a nonmetal is often fairly large, so metal-nonmetal compounds are usually ionic.

When does and ionic bond form between a metal and a nonmetal?
If the difference in the electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, then an ionic bond is formed.
Is gold a semimetal?
No it is a metal. Not a semimetal. A semimeatal is in between metal and nonmetal.
What type of bond occurs between a nonmetal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a metalloid?
When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.
What bond is between a metal and a metal?
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal

What is a ionic a nonmetal or metal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons

How do you moving an electron from the metal to the non metal What happens?
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
When does and ionic bond form between a metal and a nonmetal?
If the difference in the electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, then an ionic bond is formed.
Where are the matalloids in the periodic table of elements?
A metalloid is a chemical element with properties that are in-between or a mixture of those of metals and nonmetals, and which is considered to be difficult to classify unambiguously as either a metal or a nonmetal. The six elements commonly recognized as metalloids are boron, silicon,germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
What is the electronegativity difference between fluorine and francium?
The Pauling electronegativity of francium (metal) is 0,7 and the electronegativity of fluorine (nonmetal) is 3,98.
How do you tell the difference between two solids if one is metal and the other nonmetal?
use an electric circuit and see if it is a conductor.
How do you know that a bond between magnesium and chlorine will be ionic?
The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, Magnesium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
Is gold a semimetal?
No it is a metal. Not a semimetal. A semimeatal is in between metal and nonmetal.
