An ionic compound is formed by the complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and the resulting ions have achieved an octet. The protons do not change. Metal atoms in Groups 1-3 lose electrons to nonmetal atoms with 5-7 electrons missing in the outer level.

What type of compound is formed when elements combine?

It depends on the elements that are combining. if they are a metal and a nonmetal then it would be an ionic compound. If they are both nonmetals then it would be a molecular compound.


What do the elements Potassium and Lanthanum and Iodine and Neon create?

Potassium and Lanthanum would most likely form a chemical compound through ionic bonding, while Iodine and Neon would not form a compound because Neon is a noble gas and does not readily react with other elements.

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.


What elements would react with two atoms of sodium to form an ionic compound calcium oxygen or nitrogen?

Oxygen would do so. The product formed would be sodium oxide, with chemical formula Na2O. It is an ionic compound with sodium and oxygen being in the ration 2:1 in a giant lattice structure, with strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged Na+ and O2- ions.


Would silicon and nitrogen form an ionic compound?

Silicon and nitrogen typically do not form an ionic compound as both elements are nonmetals and tend to share electrons to form covalent bonds. In this case, they are more likely to form covalent compounds rather than an ionic compound.


Is chlorine oxide ionic or compound?

Chlorine oxide would be a covalent compound, and not an ionic compound.


Why would ionic compound be more likely to dissolve in water in oil?

An ionic compound can form interactions with water. Water happens to be a polar molecule. The positive ions are going to react with the partially charged negative ions (that are in the water). The negative ions will react with the partially positive charged hydrogen atoms in the water. But the ionic compound won't dissolve in oil because it can't form the same reaction.
