Look at the Periodic Table of the Elements. Go to group three. All the metals down that list will lose 3 electrons with combined with a nonmetal to form an ionic compound.
What else can I help you with?
When a metal and nonmetal are combined what can they make?
metal and non metal combined.
What is a ionic a nonmetal or metal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
What is formed when two metals or a metal and nonmetal are combined?
When two metals are combined, they form an alloy, which is a solid solution of different metals. When a metal and a nonmetal are combined, they form an ionic compound through the transfer of electrons between the two elements.
Is ionic bonds a metal or nonmetal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
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.
Which kind of compound generally results when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms?
Ionic compounds generally result when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms. This occurs through the transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal, creating positively charged metal cations and negatively charged nonmetal anions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
What kind of elements can are most likely to form an ionic bond?
Elements with a large difference in electronegativity are most likely to form ionic bonds. This includes combinations of a metal with a nonmetal, where the metal tends to lose electrons while the nonmetal tends to gain electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
What happens to the outer electrons of a metal when it joins a non metal?
The outer electrons of a metal atom that bonds with a nonmetal atom are either transferred to the nonmetal to form an ionic bond or shared with the nonmetal to form one or more covalent bonds.
What exists between a metal and a nonmetal?
Valence electrons
Does any ion combined with iodine most likely form an ionic bond?
Another nonmetal, such as Hydrogen, could combine with Iodine to form a covalent bond, which is when the two elements share electrons.
When a metal meets a nonmetal the nonmetal atom becomes what?
When a metal meets a nonmetal, the nonmetal atom tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming an anion (negatively charged ion) due to the addition of extra electrons. This creates an ionic bond between the metal cation and the nonmetal anion.
Is negative ions metal or nonmetal?
Negative ions can be formed from both metals and nonmetals. When a metal loses electrons, it becomes a positively charged cation, while when a nonmetal gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged anion.
