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.

Which kind of compound generally results when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms?
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
Is MnCl2 an ioinic or covalent bond?
Ｎｉｇｇｅｒ
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
What forms a molecular compound?
Two or more nonmetal or metal atoms form a molecular compound. Due to this bond creating chemical reactions, a molecular compound is also a type of covalent bond.
How are atoms held together in molecules?
Various things. If it is a nonmetal and nonmetal it going to be a covalent bond. If it is a metal and nonmetal it is going to be an ionic bond. If it is a metal and metal then it is a metallic bond.
Which kind of compound generally results when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms?
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
what usually happens when a metal reacts with a nonmetal?
electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions resulting in an ionic compound
Type of compound?
There are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
Is MnCl2 an ioinic or covalent bond?
Ｎｉｇｇｅｒ
Is P2O4 an ionic compound?
ionic = metal + nonmetal covalent = nonmetal + nonmetal So your compound is covalent because P (Phosphorus) is a nonmetal and O (oxygen) is a nonmetal.
What are covalent bonds formed between?
Metal atoms.
What forms a molecular compound?
Two or more nonmetal or metal atoms form a molecular compound. Due to this bond creating chemical reactions, a molecular compound is also a type of covalent bond.
Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is the element sodium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
How are atoms held together in molecules?
Various things. If it is a nonmetal and nonmetal it going to be a covalent bond. If it is a metal and nonmetal it is going to be an ionic bond. If it is a metal and metal then it is a metallic bond.
Is SO3 a nonmetal or a metal?
SO3 is a compound and therefore is neither a metal nor a nonmetal, because these are types of chemical elements, not of compounds. This particular compound consists of two nonmetal elements, sulfur and oxygen.
Is neptunium beryllide a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Neptunium beryllide (NpBe3) is a solid chemical compound (not metal, nonmetal or metalloid).
