If you think to halogens they form ionic bonds with metals.


Ionic bonds are formed between?

Alkali metals and halogens.


What type of bond is astatine form?

Probably ionic bonds with metals.


What group NORMALLY bonds with halogens?

Group 1 Alkali metals because the halogens need one electron to fill their outer electron shell.


What group will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds?

Halogens, such as chlorine or iodine, will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds by transferring electrons from the alkali metal to the halogen. This results in the formation of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or potassium iodide.


Do metals form covalent bonds?

no. they form ionic bonds.


What causes ion form ionic bonds?

Ions form ionic bonds due to charge attraction.


What type of bonding do group 7 elements form with metals?

Group 7 elements, also known as the halogens, typically form ionic bonds with metals when they react. Halogens have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, while metals tend to lose electrons to achieve the same stability. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of ionic compounds between the halogens and metals.

What element can make ionic and covalent bonds?

Many elements can form ionic and covalent bonds.With metals the non metals generally form ionic bonds- but with other non-metals they form covalent bonds. Examples:- The halogens (group 17) are covalent diatomic molecules, e.g. F2, Cl2 but generally form ionic compounds with metals . Oxygen forms ions, O2- in metallic oxides but bonds covalently to hydrogen in water nitrogen in ammonia, sulfur in H2S etc hydrogen forms the hydride ion in compounds such as LiH but bonds covalently in water and when bonded to carbon nitrogen forms the N3- ion in compounds such as Li3N but bonds covalently with oxygen in nitrogen dioxide.


Halogens are only found in nature as what?

Halogens are found in nature primarily as salts, such as sodium chloride (table salt) or potassium iodide. They are highly reactive nonmetals that readily form ionic bonds with metals to create mineral salts.
