Metals combine with other metals to form alloy solutions, they can form solutions with other compounds by being dissolved in them, in most cases. As well, they form ionic bonds with nonmetals.
Metals and non-metals
Ionic bond.
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
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.
Sulfur can bond with 2 hydrogen atoms to create hydrogen sulfide. Two sulfur atoms and two hydrogen atoms can aslo bond to create hydrogen disulfide
Atoms combine with other atoms to become more stable. For example, Na (Sodium) has 11 atoms and if it gives Cl (Chlorine) one atom, it will then become 18 atoms. Ar (Argon) has 18 atoms which is also equivalent. When Sodium loses one it will then become 10 atoms, which is also equivalent to Ne (Neon). It is sort of a win-win situation.
uncomplete atoms attract each other sort of like a magnet. when they 'stick' together they are then called a molecule but there are atoms that do not form together because they are complete. they are called Noble Gases.

Bonds are needed in order for atoms to combine
atoms combine to give molecules
