What Type of bond is formed when a non metal is combined with another non metal?

A covalent bond is formed when a nonmetal combines with another nonmetal. In this type of bond, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell and increase stability. The sharing of electrons allows the atoms to achieve a more stable electron configuration.


What type of bond occurs between a nonmetal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a metalloid?

When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.


Is it a covalent bond or an ionic bond?

a covalent bond is a bond between two nonmetals. the electrons are "shared" between the two atoms. example: H2O. an ionic bond forms between a metal and nonmetal. in an ionic bond, the electrons aren't shared, but are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, leaving the metal with a positive charge and the nonmetal with a negative charge. examples: MgO, NaCl.


Is CsF covalent or ionic bond?

CsF (Cesium fluoride) forms an ionic bond. Cesium is a metal and fluoride is a nonmetal, which results in the transfer of electrons from cesium to fluoride, creating positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.


When a metal reacts with a nonmetal a colvent bond is formed true or false?

False. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal, an ionic bond is typically formed, rather than a covalent bond. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic forces.

When a metal is combined with a non metal does it form a covalent bond?

Usually a metal bonded and a nonmetal form an ionic bond. There are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which has covalent bonds.

What happens what a nonmetal and a metal element bond?

When a nonmetal and a metal bond, the nonmetal gains electrons from the metal to form an ionic bond. The nonmetal becomes negatively charged (anion) and the metal becomes positively charged (cation), resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two ions.


What is formed when two metal or a metal and nonmetal are combined?

A covalent bond is formed. A molecular compound is formed.


What determines if a bond will be an ionic bond or a covalent bond?

it depends on which types of atomes are involved in the bond (metal, nonmetal, metaloid, manmade).

What type of bond would a carbon atom form covalent or ionic?

If it bonds with a metal then its ionic. if it bonds with a nonmetal then is covalent.
