Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?
Nonmetals and metals
What elements are likely to react with calcium?
Most of the nonmetals, particularly the halides.
A covalent compound is most likely formed from what type of elements?
2 nonmetals
Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and flourine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?
calcium and lithium are both metals and dont form bond with each other. sodium and flourine form ionic compound, sodium fluoride. nitrogen and oxygen form covalent bond in the nitrogen oxides. helium and argon are both nonmetals / noble gases and dont form bond with each other.
Which elements will likely form a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds usually form between two nonmetals/
What element is most likely to form ions with -3?
Phosphorous or nitrogen
What are likely to form an ionic bond magnesium and sulfur or nitrogen and oxygen?
Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.

An element that is a very reactive gas is most likely a member of the what?
Chlorine is the most reactive gas element. Chlorine is in the halogen family.
What elements are likely to react with calcium?
Most of the nonmetals, particularly the halides.

Which type of element is more likely to gain electrons when it forms bonds?
nonmetals
Are hydrogen and neon likely to bond?
No, they are not likely to bond. Neon has a complete octet and is not reactive.
what do you mean by hepatitis B and hepatitis C reactive or positive?
This indicates that the person who has antibodies reactive to the Hepatitis B or C virus and likely has been exposed to the disease (and likely has it).
What atoms are likely to gain one or more electrons when they bond with other atoms?
nonmetals
Is a growing child likely to exhibit negative nitrogen balance?
False, a growing child is not likely to exhibit negative nitrogen balance.
Physical properties of phosphorus?
Phosphorous is a multivalent nonmetal of the nitrogen group. It is found in nature in several allotropic forms, and is an essential element for the life of organisms.There are several forms of phosphorous, called white, red and black phosphorous, although the their colours are more likely to be slightly different. White phosphorous is the one manufactured industrial; it glows in the dark, is spontaneously flammable when exposed to air and is deadly poison. Red phosphorous can vary in colour from orange to purple, due to slight variations in its chemical structure. The third form, black phosphorous, is made under high pressure, looks like graphite and, like graphite, has the ability to conduct electricity.ApplicationsConcentrated phosphoric acids are used in fertilizers for agriculture and farm production. Phosphates are used for special glasses, sodium lamps, in steel production, in military applications (incendiary bombs, smoke screenings etc.), and in other applications as: pyrotechnics, pesticides, toothpaste, detergents.
