What is an element whose atoms can form a covalent bonds with another atom of the same element called?
The answer expected here is non-metal, and examples are carbon, chlorine, sulfur phosphorus. Metals have metallic bonds. However there are compounds where atoms of a metallic element form covalent bonds to other atoms of the same element.
When atoms of nonmetallic elements react with one another they tend to seek stability by?
Atoms of non-metals generally react with atoms of metals by forming ionic compounds. This is achieved when non-metals gain electrons or a metal atom loses electrons.
What type of bond is formed when gold bonds with itself?
Metallic bond, metallic positive grains surrounded by the electron cloud
Is an iron a metallic element or a mixture or a compound or a non metallic element?
Yes, because it is definitely an element and it is made from a metal thus making it a metallic element
What kind of atoms form metallic bonds?
A positive metal ion and the electrons surrounding it.
Do metallic element tend to lose electrons?
Yes, it is true.

Which of the atoms of nitrogen gas are metals and which non-metals?
Nitrogen is an element. It is not contain atoms of other elements. It has no metallic atoms.
Will atoms of a non metallic element form positive or negative ions?
Positive ions

Metallic bond, metallic positive grains surrounded by the electron cloud
What is it that atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by?
Atoms of materials that conduct electricity best tend to be held together by metallic bonds. This is the attraction between positively charged nuclei in metal atoms and the delocalized electrons in the metal.
What element family do atoms tend to share electrons in chemical bonds?
halogen family
What element is metallic of the elements?
Francium is the most metallic element. :)
Does metallic bonding occur between atoms of copper or chlorine?
Metallic bonding occurs between copper atoms. Only copper is a metal and has the characteristics needed for metallic bonding. Metallic bonding occurs between atoms with low electronegativities (low tendency to attract electrons from other atoms) and low ionisation energies (little energy required to remove electrons from the atoms). The low tendency for the metallic atoms to keep their electrons allow their electrons to be shared between the atoms, which thus become cations. The cations tend to be very closely-packed; they are not repulsed by their similar positive charges, but attracted to the electrons flowing freely between the cations. Metallic bonding therefore occurs between copper atoms, which have low electronegativity and ionisation energy. Chlorine atoms have some of the highest electronegativity and ionisation energy of all elements, and thus do not exhibit metallic bonding.
What do metallic and nonmetallic ions need to have a stale outer level?
All atoms tend to have a stable structure similar to that of noble gases.
Is an iron a metallic element or a mixture or a compound or a non metallic element?
Yes, because it is definitely an element and it is made from a metal thus making it a metallic element
