How is a molecule formed?
Molecules are formed when atoms lose electrons and then attach themselves to other atoms
Describe two ways that nonmetals can combine with other elements?
Nonmetals become stable by gaining or sharing enough valence electrons to have a set of eight valence electrons in a shell or energy level
Do atoms of different elements combine the same?
they combine with themselves atoms of different elements connot combine with each other wothout making a new molecule
What is the state of matter of most nonmetals?
Some are solid (eg carbon) some are gaseous (eg oxygen) and one is liquid (bromine).
What does not react naturally with elements?
The noble gases: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, all the gases in that chemical group or family. The noble gases do not usually form compounds, except under extreme conditions: high heat and pressure, and then only in the presence of a catalyst, such a platinum [Pt] or nickel [Ni].
What are formed when nonmetals combine with other nonmetals?
Ionic.
What sort of atoms do metals combine with?
Metals combine with other metals to form alloy solutions, they can form solutions with other compounds by being dissolved in them, in most cases. As well, they form ionic bonds with nonmetals.
What elements combine to form a covalent compound?
If the electronegativity difference between two elements is less than 1.7, then covalent bond is formed between the two atoms.Also, non metals combine with other non metals to form covalent compounds.
What type of elements typically compose molecular compounds?
Molecular compounds are formed when the intramolecular bonds are covalent instead of ionic. These are formed by non-metallic atoms bonding with other non-metallic atoms.
What kind of bond forms when nonmetals combine with other nonmetals?
This is called a covalent bond.
What type of elements combine to form ionic compounds?
ionic compounds form between metals and non-metals.
What elements do nonmetals react with?
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
What types of atoms compose each type of compound only metals only nonmetals or both?
For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.
What is the rule used for naming binary compounds composed of nonmetals bonded to other nonmetals?
Newtons third law
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes :)
What can chromium combine with?
For example halogens, carbon, oxygen, sulfur, other nonmetals.
Can beryllium form compounds with any other element?
Beryllium can form binary compounds with the majority of the nonmetals and metalloids.
