Ionic compounds only occur between a nonmetal and metal, also Halogens and The Carbon Family do not form Ionic bonds.

Is the composition of an ionic compound formed by two or more nonmetallic elements?

No, ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal. Nonmetallic elements typically form covalent compounds where they share electrons rather than transfer them.


Are sodium and magnesium are ionic or non ionic?

Sodium and magnesium are both ionic elements. Sodium forms a +1 cation, and magnesium forms a +2 cation when they lose electrons, resulting in the formation of ionic compounds when they react with non-metallic elements.


It is true for all compounds Composition of ionic compounds Which is NOT true of compounds Which is?

The statement that all compounds have a composition of ionic compounds is false. Many compounds can be covalent in nature, where atoms share electrons instead of transferring them. On the other hand, it is true that compounds have a definite composition with fixed ratios of elements and compounds are formed by the bonding of two or more different elements.


Which elements are ionic compounds?

ones that are a metal and non-metal


Is copper an ionic or molecular compound?

Copper itself is a pure element and does not form compounds under normal conditions. However, copper can combine with other elements to form both ionic and molecular compounds depending on the elements it is bonded with.


What are the kinds of elements that combine to form ionic compounds are what?

A metal and a nonmetal.


Common substances that form ionic compounds?

substances such as sodium and chlorine for ionic compounds basically it is neutral elements that form ionic compounds


Are ionic compounds make of nonmetallic elements?

Generally ioic compounds contain metals and non metals. However the compound NH4Cl is ionic, and contains NH4+ and Cl- ,and all of the elements are non-metals.


How do you know what elements will form ionic compounds together?

Ionic compounds are formed between elements with significantly different electronegativities. When one element has a low electronegativity (such as metals) and the other has a high electronegativity (such as nonmetals), they are likely to form an ionic bond. Periodic trends can also help predict which elements are likely to form ionic compounds.


Is All ionic compounds include at least two elements true?

Yes, all ionic compounds consist of ions formed from at least two different elements - one positively charged cation and one negatively charged anion. This is what allows them to have an overall neutral charge and form ionic bonding.


What elements do nonmetals react with?

Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
