Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table?
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table, for example Groups 1 and 17, form ionic compounds. Examples include LiCl, NaCl, KI, and RbBr. The elements in Group 1 are the alkali metals, and the elements in Group 17 are the halogens, which are nonmetals.
Does ionic compound dissociates?
no,DissociationWhen ionic compounds dissolve to produce ions the process is typically called dissociation.IonizationWhen molecular compounds dissolve in water to produce ions the process is typically called ionization.
Is carbon malluable?
No, carbon is not malleable. It is considered a nonmetal and one characteristic of nonmetals is brittleness, quite the opposite of malleability.
What is variable composition?
I am not 100% sure, but i believe variable composition is when the composition of a mixture can vary, or contain different properties, elements/compounds... etc. An example of variable composition would be a heterogeneous mixture, which has no uniform way of being composed. Where as its opposite, a homogeneous mixture, has a set composition of the same properties, elements/compounds... etc. and can be recreated.
Is a compound held together by opposite charges?
Ionically bonded compounds are held together by opposite charges on the anions and cations that constitute the compound. Covalently bonded compounds and metals are held together by other means.

What is an element whose physical properties are generally opposite to metals?
These chemical elements are nonmetals.
What are antacids generally made up of?
Antacids are usually compounds composed of elements that generally do the opposite reaction of "acids" -Dr. Bosch
What property of nonmetals is the opposite of being malleable and ductile?
Harb
What properties of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile?
Brittle
What property of nonmetals is the opposite of malleable and ductile?
Brittle
What are three general characteristics if nonmetals?
Nonmetals are generally the opposite of metals. They are very brittle, are not good conductors of heat and electricity, and are dull. Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature, which means they have low boiling points. They have lower densities than nonmetals.
What is an opposite of irascribe?
An opposite of "irascible" would be "calm" or "composed."
Which elements in the periodic table are nonmetals and which are metalloids?
Non metals have properties opposite those of the metals . The metalloids, or semimetals, have properties that are somewhat of a cross between metals and nonmetals.
Does ionic compound dissociates?
no,DissociationWhen ionic compounds dissolve to produce ions the process is typically called dissociation.IonizationWhen molecular compounds dissolve in water to produce ions the process is typically called ionization.
Why is metal a element?
Nonmetals have properties opposite those of themetals. The nonmetals are brittle, not malleable or ductile, poor conductors of both heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Some nonmetals are liquids. These elements are shown in the following figure.
What is the opposite of anniversary?
"Anniversary" is a noun; nouns, typically, have no opposite.
