What pair of atoms will form an ionic bond?
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
What kind of element forms cation after ionic bonding?
Metals form cations, but before ionic bonding. An ionic bond forms from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. So the ions form first, then the ionic bond.
Which element will most likely form a ionic bond?
Ionic bonds form primarily between metals and nonmetals.
What compounds forms an ionic bond?
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
What kind of elements can are most likely to form an ionic bond?
Metals.
What pair of atoms will form an ionic bond?
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
What pair of atoms will form ionic bond?
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
When electrons are transferred form one atom to another what type of bond is formed What types of elements form this bond?
This is an ionic bond between metals and nonmetals.
What type of bond involves a metal and a non-metal?
it must be a covalent bond because metals and non metals form ionic bond
What kind of element forms cation after ionic bonding?
Metals form cations, but before ionic bonding. An ionic bond forms from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. So the ions form first, then the ionic bond.
What type of atoms combine to form a ionic bond?
Metals and non-metals
What type of bond does Cl and Cl have?
Cl and F form ionic bond when they combine with metals and form covalent bond when combined with non-metals.
What type of bond form between two metals?
Two metals will not bond. The type of bond between two non-metals is a covalent bond The type of bond between a non-metal and a metal is a molecular bond
Is Na an ionic bond?
Sodium can form an ionic bond, but sodium (Na) is an element from the alkali metals group.
Is ozone a ionic bond or a covalent bond?
Ozone forms covalent bonds. Ionic bonds form only between metals and non-metals.
Is bromine and ionic or covalent bond?
There is no electro negativity difference.The bond is covalent.
Which element will most likely form a ionic bond?
Ionic bonds form primarily between metals and nonmetals.
