Is hydrogen a special form of a ionic bond?

Hydrogen is an element, not a bond. It can form bonds, which are usually covalent, but an ionic bond with hydrogen is possible, for example, lithium hydride is an ionic compound. While this, like every compound, does have its own distinctive features, I would not call it a special form of ionic bond.


What type of reaction forms when a metal and nonmetal element form an ionic compound?

When a metal and nonmetal element form an ionic compound, it is a transfer of electrons from the metal (which loses electrons to become a cation) to the nonmetal (which gains electrons to become an anion). This forms an ionic bond between the cation and anion, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound.


Can k and h form a ionic bond?

Yes, elements k and h can form an ionic bond. Element k (potassium) can donate an electron to element h (hydrogen) to form an ionic bond. The resulting ion pair would be K+ and H-.
