What compound forms when metals react with nonmetals?

I think what you are asking is what type of bond is formed, as there are no 'catch all' terms for compounds made from non-metals. Non-metals bond to each other covalently - with a covalent bond. That's the one where electrons are shared, not donated.

I've just noticed that someone has also asked what compound 2 non-metals make... If this is you then a metal and a non-metal form an ionic bond, making it an ionic compound. Non-metals together form covalent bonds, or a covalent compound.

I think this a bit too general a question! What metal reacting with what non-metal? Under what conditions? Might be able to be a bit more helpful with a few more details.

When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
When a metal reacts with a non metal it makes what?
It forms a compound. For example Iron + Oxygen ---> Iron Oxide aka rust.
What does plutonium react with and wont react with?
Plutonium react with the majority of nonmetals; plutonium doesn't react with noble gases. Plutonium can form alloys with other metals.
Do noble gases react with metals and non metals?
Nobles gasses will not react with metals or most nonmetals. Only a few noble gasses compounds exits, and none exist naturally. Noble gasses will only form compounds with fluorine and oxygen.
When acids and bases react they form compounds called salt which are made of metals and nonmetals true or false?
Yes, it is correct.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals gain electrons.
How do metals and nonmetals react?
this makes ionic bonding.
What elements react with metals?
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
Which element forms an ionic compound when it forms with lithium?
Bromine (Br) All nonmetals except the noble gasses will react with lithium to form ionic compounds.
Are metals always gaining electrons when they react?
nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react
When a metal reacts with a non metal it makes what?
It forms a compound. For example Iron + Oxygen ---> Iron Oxide aka rust.
Which element forms an ionic compound when it reacts with lithium?
Bromine (Br) All nonmetals except the noble gasses will react with lithium to form ionic compounds.
Can nonmetals replace other nonmetals in single replacement reactions?
yes,they do react with each other by forming a covalent bond OR say by sharing e- of valence orbit
What is reactivity of properties of metals?
Electronegativities of metals are very different: alkali metals are very reactive, platinum metals very unreactive. Metals react with nonmetals.
