What group will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds?
halogens (group 17) and oxygen family (group 16)
What does not have the affinity for water?
There are some metals which do not react with water. Metals like Silver,Gold,Platinum,copper,Mercury and non metals like Hydrogen do not react with water.
What is the affect of acid on different types of metals?
It really depends on the type of acid and the metal. Metals like gold and platinum (and others metals which are called the noble metals) are impervious to acids except for aqua regia which is a mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acids. Some metals like copper won't react with acids unless there is also an oxidizer present like hydrogen peroxide and then some metals like zinc will react with most acids readily.
Does hydrogen gas liberate when metals react with carbonic acid?
By definition metals above hydrogen should react with acids to produce hydrogen and a metal salt when mixed, but carbonic acid is a weak acid and it won't react as much like sulfuric acid.
Do metals react in water?
As far as I know, non-metals like Carbon(C) and Sulphur(S) do not react with water. They are tightly binded, so they are insoluble too. Chilax
Which metal and acid would react together to give off oxygen?
Most metals react with acids to give off hydrogen. Only very nonreactive metals, like gold and platinum do not react with metals. An example would be: Calcium + Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium chloride + Hydrogen gas (Ca +2 HCl = CaCl2 + H2)
What group will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds?
halogens (group 17) and oxygen family (group 16)
What elements react with sulfuric acid?
Metals like sodium, magnesium, zinc and iron can react with sulphuric acid. However, less reactive metals like copper and gold do not.
Does metals react with non metals?
As far as I know, non-metals like Carbon(C) and Sulphur(S) do not react with water. They are tightly binded, so they are insoluble too. Chilax
Other metals can react with oxygen gas to form ionic bonds?
Yes.. Metals do not have full valency shells so they must lose or gain electrons [to become like their nearest noble gas]. As long as the last shell is not full, it is possible - not only for metals but non-metals as well.
Does gold react with oxygen is the oxide that is formed an acid or a base?
Gold does not react directly with oxygen, however if you succeed in getting gold oxide indirectly, it decomposes at 205C. The oxide is neither acid nor base however gold ions are acidic (like protons are acidic)
What does not have the affinity for water?
There are some metals which do not react with water. Metals like Silver,Gold,Platinum,copper,Mercury and non metals like Hydrogen do not react with water.
What metal will react with oxygen but not water?
Metal reacting with oxygen is known as oxidation. A common form of this process is found in the rusting of iron, where the iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (known as rust).
Why do metals like argon copper do not react even with steam?
Argon is not a metal so you cannot expect "metals like argon" to do anything!
To metals and non-metals alike this element bonds like epoxy generally in a very exothermic manner?
The element that bonds to metals and non metals like epoxy is oxygen. Oxygen is required for combustion, present as O2 (g) near Earth's surface, and as O3 (g) ozone in the atmosphere.
What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?
oxidation takes place (rusting)
Why don't minerals burn?
"Burning" is chemical combination with oxygen, typically. Other chemicals like fluorine or chlorine can also support combustion. Most minerals are not very reactive with oxygen and so even heating them to extreme temperatures does not cause them to chemically react with oxygen. Metals, however, burn. Magnesium is used as a firestarter, alkali metals like sodium burn in contact with water, etc. Sulfur burns very awesomely.
