Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
Mercury forms amalgams with most metals. It can react with non-metals to form to types of compounds: mercurous and mercuric compounds.
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.
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).
React is a verb; reacted is the simple past tense.
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
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.
They react to form covalent bonds with one another.
Neptunium can react with the majority of other nonmetals.
Plutonium can react with the majority of the nonmetals.
Most of the nonmetals, particularly the halides.
Elements from the boron, carbon, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen families (groups 13 to 17) react with metals.
The chemistry of francium is not known; it is probable that francium easy react with nonmetals.
Potassium is a metal, and it would react to group 17 (7A) because those elements are nonmetals.
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
Americium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of other nonmetals; also react with inorganic acids or water vapors.
