What else can I help you with?
A compound made of a metal and a nonmetal is a?
Usually an ionically bonded salt. For Study Island~ binary ionic compound When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride. Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)
Will Neon and sodium form ionic compound?
Yes, neon and sodium will not form an ionic compound because neon is a noble gas with a full outer electron shell and does not readily react with other elements. Sodium, on the other hand, is a reactive metal that readily forms ionic compounds with nonmetals by donating its outer electron.
Would iodine and sulfur form and ionic compound?
No, iodine and sulfur would not typically form an ionic compound. Both iodine and sulfur are nonmetals and tend to form covalent compounds when they react with each other.
Is potassium and sulferan covalent compound?
Potassium and sulfur react to give K2S potassium sulfide, an ionic compound. With excess sulfur polysulfides can be formed- these contain Sn2- ions.
Will calcium and sodium form an ionic compound yes or no?
Yes. Calcium and sodium will form an ionic compound because calcium is a metal and sodium is also a metal, and when metals react with each other, they typically form ionic compounds by transferring electrons.
When a metal reacts with a non metal it makes what?
It forms a compound. For example Iron + Oxygen ---> Iron Oxide aka rust.
What elements do nonmetals react with?
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
Will nitrogen and fluorine form a ionic compound?
No, nitrogen and fluorine will not form an ionic compound. They are both nonmetals and tend to form covalent bonds when they react with each other.

Which element forms an ionic compound when it forms with lithium?
Bromine (Br) All nonmetals except the noble gasses will react with lithium to form ionic compounds.

Which element region will most readily react to form an ionic compound with alkali metal?
This is the valence electron.
What is the basic rule for predicting how the ions of a metal and a nonmetal will react to form a compound?
The basic rule is that metals tend to lose electrons to form positively charged ions (cations), while nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form negatively charged ions (anions). When a metal and a nonmetal react, the metal will typically donate electrons to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of an ionic compound with a metal cation and a nonmetal anion.
