In a ionic bond, which is a bond between metals and nonmetals, the metal will loose the electron(s) while the nonmetal will gain the electron(s).

What does ionic bonding form?

Ionic bonding forms between a metal and a nonmetal. It involves the transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic attraction.


Does a metal gain or lose an electron when it reacts with a nonmetal?

The metal tends to lose the electron because it has a higher electron affinity, and the nonmetal tends to gain the electron because it has a higher electronegativity. This has to do with the placement of the element on the periodic table. The further to the right you go, the more the element wants to gain electrons in an ionic compound.

Predict the kind of bonding in kl?

The bonding in KI would be ionic, as potassium (K) is a metal and iodine (I) is a nonmetal. In ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that attract each other to form a stable compound.


Is MnCl2 ionic or covalent?

MnCl2 is an ionic compound. It is formed when a metal (Mn) bonds with a nonmetal (Cl) through ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal.


Is covalent bonding a nonmetal or metal?

Covalent bonding typically involves the sharing of electrons between two nonmetal atoms. Metals typically form metallic bonds by delocalizing their outer electrons rather than sharing them in covalent bonds.


Covalent bonding is when atoms?

share electrons to form a stable outer electron configuration. This sharing allows the atoms to fill their outer electron shells and become more stable. Covalent bonding occurs between nonmetal atoms.
