Is it a covalent bond when a metal and a nonmetal combine?
No, generally it is ionic.
What bond is formed between a metal and nonmetal?
Ionic
When a metal reacts with a nonmetal a colvent bond is formed true or false?
False. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal an ionic bond is formed.
What forms ionic bond?
Ionic bonds are bonds formed by a nonmetal and a metal atom. On the contrary, covalent bonds are molecules formed by two or more nonmetal atoms.
What is the type of bond that is present between sodium and fluorine in sodium fluorine which is used in fluoridation of drinking water?
Ionic. The usual rule is that when you have a metal (sodium) and combine it with a nonmetal (fluorine), there is an ionic bond formed.
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 ==
How is an ionic bond different than a covalent bond?
ionic bond conects a nonmetal and a metal. covalent bond connects a nonmetal and another nonmetal.
When does and ionic bond form between a metal and a nonmetal?
If the difference in the electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, then an ionic bond is formed.
Is CsF covalent or ionic bond?
Cesium is a metal and fluorine is a nonmetal. When a metal and nonmetal bond, they form an ionic bond.
What type of bond is formed when two atoms combine by sharing electrons?
ionic bond
How do you moving an electron from the metal to the non metal What happens?
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
How can eletronegativity be used to distinguish between an ionic bond and a covalent bond?
If electronegativity varies by more than 1.4 then you are most probably looking at an ionic bond. A variance less than 1.4 means, usually a covalent bond can be formed. This is a rule of thumb and is not always reliable. Metal to nonmetal; ionic. nonmetal to nonmetal; covalent.
