Usually an ionically bonded salt.
For Study Island~ binary ionic compound
When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride.
Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

∙ 13y agoIf a metal is combined with another metal, it turns into an alloy. If a metal is mixed with another substance, it is a solution
hope it helps :)

Is H2O an ionic or molecular compound?
it's a molecular compound due to the fact that it's made up of two non-metal elements. Ionic compounds and made up of a metal and a non-metal
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
Is MnCl2 an ioinic or covalent bond?

Is Thiamin a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?
None of the above. Thiamin is a compound and the terms metal, nonmetal and metalloid apply to elements.
Is neptunium beryllide a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Neptunium beryllide (NpBe3) is a solid chemical compound (not metal, nonmetal or metalloid).
Is H2O an ionic or molecular compound?
it's a molecular compound due to the fact that it's made up of two non-metal elements. Ionic compounds and made up of a metal and a non-metal
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.

Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is the element sodium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
What is A is a material made of two or more elements at least one of which is metal?
If it is composed of a metal and a nonmetal, then it will most likely be an ionic compound.
Is Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal?
Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.
Is SO3 a nonmetal or a metal?
SO3 is a compound and therefore is neither a metal nor a nonmetal, because these are types of chemical elements, not of compounds. This particular compound consists of two nonmetal elements, sulfur and oxygen.
Is neptunium beryllide a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Neptunium beryllide (NpBe3) is a solid chemical compound (not metal, nonmetal or metalloid).
Is Thiamin a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?
None of the above. Thiamin is a compound and the terms metal, nonmetal and metalloid apply to elements.
Is iron oxide a metal?
No, it is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Pure iron is a metal, however.
If a metal and nonmetal bond to form a compound which name is written first?
metal
