What kind of element metal or nonmetal can form an anion?
Non-metals gain electrons. Hence, they can easily form anions.
What kind of element is usually dull in color does not conduct electricity does not bend or stretch very much and breaks easily?
These are characteristics of solid nonmetal elements.
What is unique about metalloids?
Metalloids are a 'one-of-a-kind' element. They contain a mix of chemical and physical properties from both metals and nonmetals. Metalloids can act as either a metal or a nonmetal, which makes them a metalloid.
What kind of nonmetal is xenon?
A colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element. Xenon and similar elements are called Noble Gases
What kind of chemical bond will form between a metal and nonmetal?
ionic

What kind of element is helium?
nonmetal

What kind of element form a positive ions?
metals
What kind of element form cations after ionic?
metals
What kind of element most often forms covalent bonds?
Typically the non metals form covalent bonds. Of course some non metals will also form anions when they react with metals. Some metals can also can form covalent bonds however as their electronegativity is low these bonds are often polar covalent
What kind of metals is lead made of?
Lead isn't "made out of" any other metals. It's an element.
What is the element symbol?
There is no symbol for "element", other than using a placeholder. For example, if you want to refer to the oxides of group II metals, you might use the generic formula "MO." Some common placeholders are M and X for a generic metal and nonmetal (especially a halogen) respectively. A and B are also pretty common for any kind of generic element.
What kind of nonmetal is xenon?
A colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element. Xenon and similar elements are called Noble Gases
Is pure acetic acid ionic or molecular compound?
Any kind of acid should be a molecular compound because molecular compounds consists of the combination of non metals. An ionic compound would consist of a metal and a nonmetal, but all acids have the element "H" followed by a gas and are therefor not ionic compounds.
How can you tell that ionic bonding will placebetween metals and non metals?
Most of the time the bond between a metal and a nonmetal is ionic. However, there are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which is covalent. The difference in electronegativity determines what kind of bond will form. Metals and nonmetals with a difference in electronegativity of >1.6 are considered to have an ionic bond.
