Are molecular compounds made up of metals or nonmetals?

Molecular compounds are typically made up of nonmetals. Metals tend to form ionic compounds with nonmetals, whereas nonmetals tend to share electrons with other nonmetals, resulting in the formation of molecular compounds through covalent bonding.


What type of compound does not have cations or anions?

Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules not ions Compounds consisting of non-metals bonded to nonmetals do not form ions


Do semi metals count as metals or nonmetals in compounds?

NO


What types of atoms compose each type of compound only metals only nonmetals or both?

For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.


What element has oxidation numbers of plus 1 and -1?

hydrogen +1 in most of the compounds -1 in metal hydrides


What element forms compounds with nonmetals?

Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.


How are metalloids differents from metals and nonmetals?

because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals


What is made when you add metals and non metals?

Metals and nonmetals form ionic compounds.


What compounds formed from metals and nonmetals are often?

Ionic


Are covalent bonds more likely to be found in compounds containing both metals and nonmetals or compounds containing only nonmetals?

Covalent bonds are more likely to be found in compounds containing only nonmetals. Metals typically form ionic bonds with nonmetals due to the large difference in electronegativity, while nonmetals tend to share electrons in covalent bonds to achieve stability.


What compounds do nonmetals form when they burn in oxygen?

Nonmetals burning in oxygen form covalent type compounds, as compared to metals which form ionic compounds.


Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?

No, nonmetals can also combine with metals to form compounds. This type of bonding usually involves the transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in an ionic compound. Examples include sodium chloride (table salt) and calcium carbonate (chalk).
