A metal bonded to another metal is nothing more than a metallic bond. The resulting compound is still a metal, otherwise an iron ingot wouldn't be iron anymore!

Is carbon disulfide an ionic compound?

Covalent. You have a compound of two non metals, which means they bond covalently. Ionic bonds occur between a metal and a non metal. Another clue is that only covalently bonded compounds use prefixes in the names; ionic compounds do not.


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

When two metals are combined, they form an alloy, which is a solid solution of different metals. When a metal and a nonmetal are combined, they form an ionic compound through the transfer of electrons between the two elements.


Are covalent bonds made up of metals and nonmetals?

Two elements will form ionic compound if the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is above 1.7 and two elements will form covalent compound if the difference in electronegativity between the two elements is below 1.7 Metals and non-metals will form generally ionic compounds.


What is a covalent compound-?

A covalent compound is a chemical compound formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These compounds typically have lower melting and boiling points compared to ionic compounds, and they are commonly found in organic compounds. They are also known as molecular compounds.


What type of atoms compose each type of compound - only metal only nonmetal or both?

For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.

Does carbon tetra hydride contain non polar bonds?

yes. This is a compound between two non metals, with similar electronegativities. The compound is usually called methane.

How do you know if an element is an ion?

When metals combine with non-metals you normally get an ionic compound. So, sodium chloride is ionic. When non-metals combine with other non-metals you get a covalent type of compound, so water is covalent. If you really want to distinguish between the two you need to become familiar with the Periodic Table of Elements.


Is A compound between P and Cl involves covalent bonding?

Being two non metals, phosphorous and chlorine form covalent bonds.


What is binary compound?

A binary compound is a one that consists of exactly two elements.it is a compound made of two substances


What is the significance of the distance between two metals in the activity series?

The distance between two metals in the activity series indicates how likely a redox reaction between those metals will occur. Metals higher in the series (closer together) will readily form cations and undergo oxidation reactions when in contact with metals lower in the series. This distance helps predict which metal will displace the other in a redox reaction.


Is Silica a metal or a non metal?

Silicon is not a metal. It is usually called a metalloid bcause its properties are between those of metals and no-metals.


Is an alloy a mixture or compound?

An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, or a metal and another element. It is not a compound because the atoms in an alloy retain their individual properties and do not combine chemically to form a new substance.
