Halogens have a high electronegativity and metals have a low electronegativity in general. Therefore, metals tend to give up their valence electrons to the halogens. This causes the halogens to form negatively charged ions and the metals to become positively charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond which forms the ionic compound.

What families tend to form ionic compounds?
i dunno my dumb teacher wants me to find out she should ask a dam scientist!
What elements are in ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds only occur between a nonmetal and metal, also Halogens and The Carbon Family do not form Ionic bonds.
When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
What do non metals and metals tend to do?
Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic compounds by forming ionic bonds when they combine.
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table?
Elements on opposite sides of the periodic table, for example Groups 1 and 17, form ionic compounds. Examples include LiCl, NaCl, KI, and RbBr. The elements in Group 1 are the alkali metals, and the elements in Group 17 are the halogens, which are nonmetals.

What has positive ions and can form ionic compounds?
Metals form positive ions and form ionic compounds with negative ions.
When forming ionic bonds atoms of elements in group VI tend to form ions with who?
They can form ionic compounds with halogens.
Halogens form what when mixed with alkali metals?
The products of the reactions are ionic salts.
What tend to lose electrons in order to become stable?
In chemistry, metals are the elements that tend to lose electrons when they react to form compounds; Non-metals tend to gain electrons when they form compounds. When metals and non-metals react and exchange electrons with one another they form an ionic bond.
Why do halogens form compounds with alkali metals?
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
What is made when you add metals and non metals?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic compounds.
What do non metals and metals tend to do?
Metals and nonmetals tend to form ionic compounds by forming ionic bonds when they combine.
What group will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds?
halogens (group 17) and oxygen family (group 16)

Which pair of element will react to form ionic compound?
Ionic compounds are formed between metals and non-metals.
