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.
When naming ionic compounds, the non metals' ending is changed to "-ide". "Ionic bonds" do not have particular names.
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.
Oxygen forms covalent bonds with non-metals. These can involve single and sometimes double bonds. Generally oxygen forms ionic bonds with metals as the oxide, O2- ion although it also forms O22- peroxide ion in compounds such as Na2O2 , sodium peroxide
Oxygen typically forms ionic bonds with metals, resulting in the formation of metal oxides.
Chlorine forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals and ionic bonds with metals.
Oxygen typically forms covalent bonds, where it shares electrons with another atom to complete its outer electron shell. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in charged particles called ions.
Oxygen typically forms covalent bonds. Oxygen atoms share electrons with other atoms to satisfy the octet rule and form stable molecules, like in O2. Oxygen can also form ionic bonds with elements like metals, but covalent bonds are more common for oxygen.
Yes, Ionic bonds are the bonds between a cation(metal) and an anion(non-metal)
Ionic bonds are formed between "metals" and "non-metals" and involve the transfer of electrons.
No, non-metals are more likely to form covalent bonds with other non-metals because they tend to share electrons rather than transfer them. Ionic bonds typically form between metals and non-metals due to the large difference in electronegativity.
Sulfur and scandium typically do not form bonds with each other in a simple or common way. Scandium is a transition metal that typically forms ionic or metallic bonds, while sulfur is a non-metal that forms covalent or ionic bonds. In general, sulfur is more likely to form bonds with other non-metals like oxygen or hydrogen.
Metals forms ionic bonds.
