When a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom have an electron transfer to form an ion, this is known as an ionic compound. For example, salt (NaCl) an electron transfer occurs. The Na, which has 1 electron on its valence shell ( outer shell) and the Cl, which has 7 electrons on its valence shell. The Na transfers its one electron to the Cl. This therefore results in the Cl having a full valence shell; at this point Cl is negative and Na is positive. We can then conclude the NaCl is an ionic compound.

Which periodic table contain more metallic elements than nonmetallic elements?
metallic elements are found in the center of the periodic table, and nonmetallic elements are anywhere but the middle...
Is the element sodium metallic or nonmetallic?
It is Metallic. Meaning it is a metal. It's in the group of elements called the Alkali Earth Metals.
What will the Elements going across the periodic table from left to right will?
gain electrons more readily and increase in nonmetallic character
Is a seashell metallic or nonmetallic?
Non metallic
Is galena metallic or nonmetallic?
Galena is metallic.
Which periodic table contain more metallic elements than nonmetallic elements?
metallic elements are found in the center of the periodic table, and nonmetallic elements are anywhere but the middle...
What kind of elements compose an ionic bond?
metallic and nonmetallic elements
Are binary molecular compounds made of metallic elements or nonmetallic elements?
Binary molecular compounds are composed of two nonmetallic elements.
Are there more metallic elements or nonmetallic elements listed on the periodic table?
yes
Is gypsum nonmetallic or metallic?
Gypsum is a salt (a compound made of both metallic and non-metallic elements).
Does a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom both gain electron?
No. A metallic atom will typically lose electrons.
Is metallic elements more likely to lose electron than nonmetallic elements?
Yes. Metals always lose electrons and non-metals gain electrons.
Is ice metallic or nonmetallic?
Ice is non-metallic. It is simply water (H2O) in the solid state and contains no elements that are metallic.
Are most elements metallic or nonmetallic?
The metals outnumber the non-metals by a good margin.
Are noble gasses elements with metallic and non metallic properties?
No. Noble gasses are elements that rarely, if ever form chemical bonds. The elements with both metallic and nonmetallic properties are the metalloids.
What is the difference in metallic and nonmetallic elements?
Differences exist in chemical and physical properties.
Are two types of atoms metallic and nonmetallic?
Metallic and non-metallic is one of many ways of categorizing chemical elements. Metallic elements have a structure that allows free electrons to migrate from atom to atom within the structure of the material. These are called "conductors". Nonmetallic elements generally prevent the movement of electrons from atom to atom; they are "insulators". Starting after World War II, Dr. Robert Shockley developed another class of materials that sometimes would, and sometimes would not, conduct electricity. He called these "semi-conductors", and his discoveries form the basics of modern electronics.
