How does mercury react with other elements?
Mercury forms amalgams with most metals. It can react with non-metals to form to types of compounds: mercurous and mercuric compounds.
What dose alkaline earth metals mean?
In old nomenclature, oxides of elements were called "earths". The oxides of Group II form alkaline (basic pH) solutions in water; i.e. they are base anhydrides. Thus they were referred to as the alkaline earth metals.
Atom with more electrons than protons?
An atom with more electrons than protons has a Negative charge. This makes it not a atom but an Ion. A Negatively charged Ion is called a Anion (An-Ai-On) and a positive Ion is called a cation (Cat-ai-on).
What part of speech is the word reacted?
React is a verb; reacted is the simple past tense.
What are the rare earth elements?
The rare earth elements are 17 proper elements, consisting of scandium, yttrium and the fifteen lanthanoids.All of the elements in the lanthanide and actinide series are considered "rare earth" elements
What nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements?
Nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements are inert. These nonmetals are called the noble gases and are in Group 18 (VIIIA) on the Periodic Table.
What elements do nonmetals react to?
Nonmetals commonly react with metals to form ionic compounds. Nonmetals can also react with other nonmetals to form covalent compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can react with oxygen, hydrogen, and halogens to form various types of compounds.
What other elements conmbine with plutonium?
Plutonium can react with the majority of the nonmetals.
What elements react with metals?
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
What elements do francium react with more?
The chemistry of francium is not known; it is probable that francium easy react with nonmetals.
What are examples of active nonmetals?
Examples of active nonmetals include oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. These elements readily form compounds and react with other elements to gain electrons.
Why would potassium react to group 17 elements in the periodic table?
Potassium is a metal, and it would react to group 17 (7A) because those elements are nonmetals.
What happens to the atoms of most nonmetals when the react with other elements?
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
What happens to the atoms most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
What elements does Silicon react with?
Silicon primarily reacts with nonmetals such as oxygen, sulfur, and halogens. It can also react with certain metals to form silicides.

What happens to atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
