What else can I help you with?
What element forms compounds with nonmetals?
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
How do transition metals form compounds?
Transition metals typically form compounds by losing electrons to create positively charged ions, which then bond with other atoms to form compounds. These metals often exhibit variable oxidation states, allowing them to form a variety of compounds with different elements. Commonly, transition metals form coordination compounds by donating electrons to ligands to create complex structures.
What is made when you add metals and non metals?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic compounds.
How do Metals form compounds?
by losing electrons
Do metals form compounds?
Yes, metals can form compounds with other elements. These compounds are often known as metal alloys or metal oxides, depending on the elements involved in the combination. Metals can bond with nonmetals to create compounds with different properties and applications.
What compounds do nonmetals form when they burn in oxygen?
Nonmetals burning in oxygen form covalent type compounds, as compared to metals which form ionic compounds.
What has positive ions and can form ionic compounds?
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
Do you expect ionic compounds to form between two metals?
No. Two metals or more will form a mixture called an alloy.
What is the oxidation number of non metals?
The oxidation number of non-metals can vary depending on the element and the compound it is in. Generally, non-metals tend to have negative oxidation numbers when they form compounds with metals, but they can also have positive oxidation numbers when they form compounds with other non-metals.
When is energy given off most nonmetals?
when they form compounds with metals or other non-metals
What group of elements are generally from colored compounds?
The transition metals tend to form colored compounds.
How do you use combining ratios to distinguish the alkali metals from the alkaline earth metals?
Alkali metals have a +1 oxidation state and form compounds with a 1:1 ratio of metal to other element, while alkaline earth metals have a +2 oxidation state and form compounds with a 1:2 ratio. By analyzing the stoichiometry of compounds formed with these metals, you can distinguish between alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
