Which is more stable non metals or metals?
There is no rule about this. Gold is a very stable metal, and neon is a very stable non-metal.
What rule of thumb is used to determine to charge on non metal ions?
metals generally form positively charged ions
What can a metal and a nonmetal combined make?
Metals and non-metals combine through a sort of extreme electron sharing called ionic bonding. In ionic bonds, the metal atom is said to lose one or more of its electrons and give it to the nonmetal.
What happens when an atom of metal an atom of nonmetal are combined?
The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.
Is sand a non metal or metal?
non metal
When a metal and nonmetal are combined what can they make?
metal and non metal combined.
What compound would be formed if a metal combined with a non metal?
Alloys would be formed when metal will be combined with non metals.
What contains a metal and non-metal chemically combined?
Ionic compound.
Is CaCl an ionic compound?
CaCl is an ionic compound. Calcium is a metal, and chlorine is a non-metal. When combined, a metal and a non-metal form an ionic compound.
What is a chemical compound that contains a non-metal chemically combined with oxygen?
Non-metal oxide contains a non-metal chemically combined with oxygen.
Is nitrate a metal or non metal?
Nitrate, NO3- ion, is not an element, so it is useless to classify as (non-)metal. When combined with metal ions it becomes a (soluble) salt.
What Type of bond is formed when a non metal is combined with another non metal?
== It is said that when the two non-metals combine a covalent bond will formed.metal - metal = metallicmetal - nonmetal = ionicnonmetal - nonmetal = covalent ==
Does sodium and nitrogen combined make a molecular compound?
No it is ionic because when a metal (sodium) and a non-metal (nitrogen) combine it makes an ionic compound. If you combined two non-metals it would create a molecular compound.
Which is more stable non metals or metals?
There is no rule about this. Gold is a very stable metal, and neon is a very stable non-metal.
Which non-metal is most often found combined with gold and other metals?
oxygen
What materials can be combined together to make a salt?
The chemists definition of "salt" is: "Any chemical combination of a metal and a non-metal".
When a metal is combined with a non metal does it form a covalent bond?
Usually a metal bonded and a nonmetal form an ionic bond. There are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which has covalent bonds.
