they form a salt

∙ 14y agoA replacement reaction will occur and the more reactive metal will displace the less reactive metal in the compound resulting in particles of the less reactive metal coming out of the solution.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoUsually an ionic bond will form. The metal will lose its valence electrons to the nonmetal, forming two oppositely charged ions, and the electrostatic attraction between them will form an ionic bond.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNothing would happen but if it was the other way around the more reactive metal would replace the less reactive metal.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThey usually bond ionically.
All bonding between a metal and a non-metal is ionic bonding.
If it was two non-metals, it would be covalent bonding.

What happens when sodium chloride a compound is added to water?
You will obtain a sodium chloride solution in water.
Which compound could be added to an ammonia solution to form a buffer solution?
Its salt can be added. Salt can be prepared by adding acid to it
What happens when you add Cu to hydrochloric acid?
When Cu is added to hydrochloric acid , no reaction takes place. This is because copper is less reactive than hydrogen and does not displaces hydrogen from solution.
What would you observe if astatine solution is added to sodium bromide solution?
There would be no reaction because astatine is less reactive than bromine.
