they form elements
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
Ionic compounds
Yes metals have the ability to form ionic bonds, but they can also for metallic bonds, too.
Ionic or metallic compounds do not contain covalent bonds. Ex. Salt (ionic) or steel/iron/lead (metallic)
Concrete is made of covalent compounds with strong bonds. Non-metals and metals form ionic compounds only.
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules. Compounds with ionic bonds form ionic lattices.
Carbon normally forms four covalent bonds in its compounds, not ionic bonds.
Ionic compounds
Ionic bonds are chemical bonds by positive ionic charge(normally hydrogen , metals +) and negative ionic charge(chlorine ,sulphur etc ) that bind to form compounds.
Yes metals have the ability to form ionic bonds, but they can also for metallic bonds, too.
Ionic or metallic compounds do not contain covalent bonds. Ex. Salt (ionic) or steel/iron/lead (metallic)
Concrete is made of covalent compounds with strong bonds. Non-metals and metals form ionic compounds only.
Ionic compounds only occur between a nonmetal and metal, also Halogens and The Carbon Family do not form Ionic bonds.
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
ionic compounds
Generally covalent compounds.
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
