Is iodide a metal?

No, iodide is an ion formed by the nonmetal iodine.


What does a nonmetal atom need to do to form an ion?

A non metal needs to GAIN electrons to form an ion


Does any ion combined with iodine most likely form an ionic bond?

Another nonmetal, such as Hydrogen, could combine with Iodine to form a covalent bond, which is when the two elements share electrons.


Does salt contain a metal and a nonmetal?

Yes. Salt contains a metal ion and a nonmetal ion bonded together by an ionic bond.


How are the salts named?

Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride


What are ionic compounds between?

Ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal. In these compounds, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations (from the metal) and negatively charged anions (from the nonmetal). These oppositely charged ions then attract each other to form an ionic bond.


Iodide is it metal nonmetal or mettaloid?

It is an Ion


What is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion?

An ionic compound is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion. The metal ion donates electrons to the nonmetal ion, forming a stable electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ion and the negatively charged nonmetal ion. This results in the formation of a lattice structure in the solid state.


What two elements for example a metal and nonmetal where one gains an electron and the other looses an electron?

One example is sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal). Sodium can lose an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+), while chlorine can gain an electron to form a chloride ion (Cl-). These ions then combine to form the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl).


Is phosphorus a metal or nonmetal?

Phosphorus is a nonmetal, because it does not form any monatomic positive ion.


What happens toa nonmetal to form an ion?

A nonmetal will gain one or more electrons in order to form a negatively charged ion.


An ionic compound is made of a nonmetal and a metal true or false?

True. Ionic compounds form between a metal and a nonmetal. The metal loses electrons to become a cation (positively charged ion), while the nonmetal gains these electrons to become an anion (negatively charged ion).
