What type of elements will generally form ionic bonds?

Metals forms ionic bonds.


Do metalic elements and non-metalic elements form ionic bonds?

These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.


Does fluorine usually form ionic or covalent bonds?

Fluorine's bonds are technically covalent, but it is such a strongly electron withdrawing group that for all intents and purposes its bonds can be considered ionic.


What forms an ionic compound?

The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.


Elements of which form ionic bonds between them when combined together?

Elements that form ionic bonds have a large difference in electronegativity. Typically, metals and nonmetals will form ionic bonds when combined together. In these bonds, the metal atom loses electrons to form a cation, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to form an anion.


Why do elements form bond?

Elements form bonds because of the attractions between atoms or ions. There are several types of bonds such as ionic, covalent and metallic bonds.


Does polonium form ionic or covalent bonds?

Polonium is a metalloid element and it can form both ionic and covalent bonds. In general, polonium tends to form covalent bonds with nonmetals, and can also form ionic bonds with highly electronegative elements.


Are metals able to form ionic bonds with nonmetal's true or false?

Yes, ionic bonds typically form between metals and nonmetals because the electronegativity difference between these types of elements is usually large.


Does cerium have a ionic or covalent bond?

Cerium typically forms ionic bonds rather than covalent bonds. In its compounds, cerium usually forms the +3 oxidation state, where it loses three electrons to form ionic bonds with other elements.


Which group of elements form ionic bonds?

All elements in periodic table columns 1 - 12 and 17 of a wide form periodic table usually form ionic bonds, as can all other metals and most of the elements in periodic table columns 15 and 16. This does not mean that such elements can not also form covalent bonds.


Does Chlorine and xenon form a ionic compound?

No, chlorine and xenon do not form an ionic compound. Xenon is a noble gas and does not readily form ionic bonds with other elements.


Does carbon usually form ionic bonds?

No, carbon usually forms covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons. Carbon is more likely to share electrons with other atoms to complete its valence shell.
