When nonmetals react with metal does it make an ionic compound?

Generally so because the electronegativity of the nonmetal far exceeds the metal's electronegativity and thus the nonmetal will " pull " the electron(s) into it's valance shell.

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.
What happens when two nonmetals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
A compound made of a metal and a nonmetal is a?
Usually an ionically bonded salt. For Study Island~ binary ionic compound When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride. Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)
How do metals and nonmetals react?
this makes ionic bonding.
Can Cu and F form a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal. Cu is copper, a metal, so it will react with F to form CuF, a compound with ionic bonds.
When a metal reacts with a non metal it makes what?
It forms a compound. For example Iron + Oxygen ---> Iron Oxide aka rust.
What elements do nonmetals react with?
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.

Which element region will most readily react to form an ionic compound with alkali metal?
This is the valence electron.
What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
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.
Sodium metal can react with the nonmetal chlorine to form?
An ionic compound (of a type called a salt) with the name sodium chloride and formula NaCl.
