What can a metal and a nonmetal combined make?
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.
What is the chemical behavior of zinc?
It is a fairly reactive metal that will combine with oxygen and other non-metals, and will react with dilute acids to release hydrogen.
Is sand a non metal or metal?
non metal
What happens when a metal atom 'meets' a nonmetal atom?
When metals and non-metals come in contact with one another -metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ionsnon-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions
Is NaCl a metal or non-metal?
Sodium chloride is a compound, not a chemical element.
When a metal and a non metal element combine they form what type of compound ionic or molecular?
A metal and a non-metal bond to form an ionic compound.
What type of elements combine with a covalent bond?
non-metal elements combine with covelant bonds
A non metal element that can combine to make table salt?
This is chlorine (Cl).
The reaction between metal and non-metal creates what kind of bond?
The metal and nonmetal will tend to form an ionic bond between them when they combine chemically.
What pair is most likely to form an ionic compound?
A metal and a non metal. If you combine two metals, you get a metallic (or a physical) bond. If you combine two non metals you get a covalent bond. Metals are any element on hte Periodic Table to the left of the zig zag likne. non metals are to the right. One example of an Ionic compound would be Sodium Chloride (salt): NaCl
What types of elements form ionically?
Metal and non-metals combine together to form ionic bonds.
What type of elements combine to form ionic compounds?
ionic compounds form between metals and non-metals.
Does sharing electrons between atoms indicates an ionic bond?
An ionic bond is formed when a metal and a non-metal combine by the non-metal transferring electrons to the metal so both can have full valence shells. Covalent bonds are formed when two non-metals "share" electrons between them so each non-metal can maintain a full valence shell.
Pairs of elements form an ionic bond?
An ionic bond is formed with a metal (cation) and a non-metal (anion). Therefore, you can combine a metal, let's say Potassium and a non metal, let's say Bromine. K+ + Br- --> KBr (Ionic bond)
When elements combine they form what compounds?
If the elements are both non-metals, they form a molecular compound. If they are both metals, they form a metallic bonds. If they are a metal and a non-metal they form ionic bonds (salts). (Ammonium salts are non-metals.)
What combination of elements types is expected to form an ionic bond?
Usually, a metal and non metal combine and form an ionic bond. There are exceptions though, such as ammonium nitrate.
What Type of bond is formed when a non metal is combined with another non metal?
== It is said that when the two non-metals combine a covalent bond will formed.metal - metal = metallicmetal - nonmetal = ionicnonmetal - nonmetal = covalent ==
