When metals combine with nonmetals the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons to the atoms of the nonmetalsforming wich bond?
Ionic bond.
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
How covalent compounds are made?
Covalent compounds are a type of compound where two nonmetals combine, by sharing electrons. For nonmetals to become stable they usually require 1,2 or 3 more electrons. Hence when two nonmetals combine, they can share electrons. For example the covalent compound Carbon Dioxide has a formula of CO2 that is 1 carbon and two oxygen atoms. Carbon needs 4 more electrons while oxygen only needs two more. Hence each oxygen forms a double covalent bond with the central carbon. The each oxygen atom shares two of its electrons with carbon and carbon shares two of its electrons with each oxygen
When atoms of nitrogen and oxygen combine will they form ionic or covalent bonds explain?
will form covalent bond since they're both nonmetals+ since losing/gaining electrons takes a lot of energy, the # of electrons in their outewr shells will make it difficult .. so, the alternative is sharing electrons... ~Hetaliafan~ Hope this helps!! :) ionic=metal+nonmetal covalent= nonmetals metallic= metals
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons it is a(n) bond.?
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually gain or share electrons when they combine with other atoms?
Yes.

When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of nonmetals do what with electrons?
Share
What usually happens to the outer electrons of matalic atoms when they combine chemically?
They form bonds with other atoms.

When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
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.
How do atoms of metalloids behave when combined with atoms of other elements'?
they can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So depending on the conditions these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetals

When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of the nonmetals?
When nonmetals react with other nonmetals, they typically share electrons to form covalent bonds. This sharing allows the atoms to achieve a full outer energy level and become more stable. The resulting molecules usually have lower melting points and are often gases or liquids at room temperature.
Are Atoms with more than 4 outer electrons are metals?
No, atoms with more than four outer electrons are generally not classified as metals. Instead, they tend to be nonmetals or metalloids. Metals typically have fewer than four electrons in their outer shell and tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas nonmetals usually gain or share electrons. The classification of elements as metals or nonmetals is primarily based on their position in the periodic table.
What atoms are likely to gain one or more electrons when they bond with other atoms?
nonmetals
