Ions are of two type positive ions and negative ions
non-metallic ions are generally of positive as they loose electron

What ions are formed in nonmetals?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.
What is charge on the ions formed by group 7A nonmetals Explain why?
i hear they have -1 charges...but im still trying to figure out why
A covalent compound is most likely formed from what type of elements?
2 nonmetals
What type of ion do the elements found in the valleys of the graph form?
We haven't seen your graph. However, it is easy to say what kinds of ions elements form. Metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
What type of chemical bond would be formed between two identical nonmetals?
co-ordinate covelant bond
What ions are formed in nonmetals?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.
Which type of reaction occurs when nonmetal atoms become negative nonmetals ions?
Reduction
What kind of ions do metals form and what kind of ions do nonmetals form?
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
What is charge on the ions formed by group 7A nonmetals Explain why?
i hear they have -1 charges...but im still trying to figure out why
What type of ions will nonmetals form?
Metals form cations and non-metals form anions.
A covalent compound is most likely formed from what type of elements?
2 nonmetals
Can the term molecule be applied to both an ionic and a covalent bond?
No. Molecules are formed from covalent bonds, usually between nonmetals. Ionic compounds are formed by ionic bonds from the electrostatic attraction of positively and negatively charged ions, generally between metals and nonmetals.
What type of compound does not have cations or anions?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules not ions Compounds consisting of non-metals bonded to nonmetals do not form ions
Are cations positive ions that are nonmetals?
Cations are electrically positive ions
What are formed when nonmetals combine with other nonmetals?
Ionic.
What do nonmetals do to form ions?
they accept electrons lost by metals to become ions
What form of atoms form an ionic bond?
An Ionic bond is formed by metals and nonmetals. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal, electrons are relocated. The metal loses its valence electrons and the nonmetals gain them. After, both ions formed will have full outer electron shells. The positive ion is attracted to the negative and a strong ionic bond is formed.
