Two metals can not form a compound like two non metals can because
of alloys, or is it cations or anions.
I think this is the answer i took chemistry 3 years ago sorry if this is not right.
Oxides are formed when nonmetals combine with oxygen.
Ionic bond.
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Malleability is a property of metals, not nonmetals. Metals are malleable, meaning they can be hammered or pressed into different shapes without breaking. Nonmetals are typically brittle and cannot be molded in the same way.
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.
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).
Oxides are formed when nonmetals combine with oxygen.
When non metals and metals are combined, the result is an ionic compound. Often, an ionic compound salt.
An ionic compound is made up of metals and nonmetals.

When metals combine with nonmetals, they form ionic compounds through a process called ionic bonding. In this process, the metal transfers electrons to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions. These ions then attract each other through electrostatic forces to form a stable compound.
Metals and nonmetals combine easily because of the difference in their electron arrangements. Metals lose electrons easily, while nonmetals gain electrons readily to achieve a stable electron configuration. This transfer of electrons allows them to form ionic bonds, resulting in the formation of compounds.
Metals combine with other metals to form alloy solutions, they can form solutions with other compounds by being dissolved in them, in most cases. As well, they form ionic bonds with nonmetals.
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
some aren't Mercury is one metal that is liquid at room temperature.
