Why do people mix metals with nonmetals?

So that they can make ionic compounds.


Is element FeO ionic or molecular?

Usually metals make ionic bonds with non metals. Fe is a metal compound. So FeO is an ionic compound.


An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would form which type of bond?

It would form an ionic bond. The atom with 7 electrons is cation and the atom with 1 is an anion.


What kind of bond would chlorine make?

Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds, with metals and non-metals respectively.


Which element is likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine iodine cesium helium or iron?

Metals form ionic compounds with non metals. Fe is a metal. So it is likely to make ionic bonds with Cl.


Does a silver coin have an ionic or covalent bond?

Actually silver is its own "metallic bond" and is solid at room temp and conducts electricity because on most metals the have a coating of electrons that allow them to carry a charge or current


When atoms of nitrogen and oxygen combine will they form ionic or covalent bonds explain?

will form covalent bond since they're both nonmetals+ since losing/gaining electrons takes a lot of energy, the # of electrons in their outewr shells will make it difficult .. so, the alternative is sharing electrons... ~Hetaliafan~ Hope this helps!! :) ionic=metal+nonmetal covalent= nonmetals metallic= metals


Type of bond found between nonmetals is?

The bond that occurs between 2 non-metals is called covalent bonds. it is also polar and example is H2o. the H is negitivly charged while the O is positivly charged, and the H will bond to a element that is poositivly charged make sense or am i totally confusing u?


What bonding is present in copper II chloride?

Just like all bonds between metals and nonmetals, the bond present in Copper II Chloride is ionic.==================Oh, really? All bonds between metals and nonmetals are ionic? Oversimplifications like this make it difficult for students to learn what is actually going on. No, not all metal/nonmetal bonds are ionic. In fact, very few bonds are ionic enough to call them that. There are a few 100% covalent bonds, as between the atoms in a molecule of a diatomic element, and no 100% ionic bonds, although bonds between the most electronegative nonmetals (i.e. F) and the metals of groups IA and IIA are pretty close.In reality, the vast majority of bonds lie along a continuum between these two extremes -- ionic and covalent. Therefore, it make more sense to talk about the percent ionic character of a bond. Those bonds with high electronegativity differences behave more like they would if they were actually ionic. Bonds with low electronegativity difference are more covalent-like.The bonds in copper chloride have an electronegativity difference of 1.26 giving the bonds a percent ionic character of about 33%. Clearly, the Cu-Cl bond is more covalent than it is ionic. Then what is it that gives CuCl2 its relatively high melting and boiling points?As it turns out, the high melting points and boiling points of substances are due to their network structure, not to their internal bonding. The fact that CuCl2 exists as a network solid is what accounts for the melting and boiling points. Many compounds bonds with even higher covalent character which exist as networks have very high melting and boiling points. Diamond, with 100% covalent bonds, and a network structure, has the highest boiling point of any substance.


Can Mercury bond with Alkali Earth Metals?

In special conditions an alkali earth metal and mercury has the ability to make metallic bonds, but not covalent or ionic bonds.


Does californium makes ionic or molecular bonds?

Californium make ionic bonds.


What element can make ionic and covalent bonds?

Many elements can form ionic and covalent bonds.With metals the non metals generally form ionic bonds- but with other non-metals they form covalent bonds. Examples:- The halogens (group 17) are covalent diatomic molecules, e.g. F2, Cl2 but generally form ionic compounds with metals . Oxygen forms ions, O2- in metallic oxides but bonds covalently to hydrogen in water nitrogen in ammonia, sulfur in H2S etc hydrogen forms the hydride ion in compounds such as LiH but bonds covalently in water and when bonded to carbon nitrogen forms the N3- ion in compounds such as Li3N but bonds covalently with oxygen in nitrogen dioxide.
