Because the left side only has one valence electron but the right side has 7 so they attract
Ionic compounds are formed when a metal from the left side of the periodic table reacts with a nonmetal from the right side because metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration (become cations) and nonmetals tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration (become anions). The resulting electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions creates the ionic bond.
False. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal, an ionic bond is typically formed, rather than a covalent bond. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic forces.
Ionic compounds are formed when a metal reacts with a nonmetal. The metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, and the nonmetal gains these electrons to become a negatively charged anion. These opposite charges attract each other, forming an ionic bond.
It forms acidic solutions

Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.
It depends on the nature of the metal-nonmetal compound formed. Metal-nonmetal compounds, known as ionic compounds, are usually poor conductors of electric current in solid state due to the lack of free-moving electrons. However, when dissolved in water or melted, they can conduct electricity due to the presence of mobile ions.

Fluorine
When magnesium reacts with oxygen, it forms magnesium oxide (MgO).
oxides are formed when a element reacts with Oxygen
Through compounds (one element plus another (only some have been found the periodic table always changes))
The most active nonmetal element is fluorine.
When calcium reacts with iodine, calcium iodide is formed. This is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has various industrial applications such as in the manufacturing of chemical compounds.
