How many electrons will the metal sodium atoms lose when the metal reacts with a nonmetal?
Sodium atoms will typically lose 1 electron when they react with a nonmetal to form an ionic compound. This electron loss enables sodium to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas.
Is bromide a metal?
No, bromide is not a metal. It is a chemical compound that contains the element bromine, which is a nonmetal. Bromide ions are formed when bromine gains an electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
Is chloride a metal or nonmetal?
Chloride is a term used for salts. Chlorine is a chemical element, nonmetallic.
Is carbon metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Carbon is a nonmetal.
Is bromine a metal nonmetal or semi-metal?
Bromine is a nonmetal.
How can hydrogen act ad a metal and a nonmetal?
Hydrogen has 1 electron. It can easily gain or lose electron to form metal or non metal
Does a metal gain or lose an electron when it reacts with a nonmetal?
The metal tends to lose the electron because it has a higher electron affinity, and the nonmetal tends to gain the electron because it has a higher electronegativity. This has to do with the placement of the element on the periodic table. The further to the right you go, the more the element wants to gain electrons in an ionic compound.
How many electrons will the metal sodium atoms lose when the metal reacts with a nonmetal?
Sodium atoms will typically lose 1 electron when they react with a nonmetal to form an ionic compound. This electron loss enables sodium to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas.
What two elements for example a metal and nonmetal where one gains an electron and the other looses an electron?
One example is sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal). Sodium can lose an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+), while chlorine can gain an electron to form a chloride ion (Cl-). These ions then combine to form the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl).
How do you moving an electron from the metal to the non metal What happens?
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
What type of bond occurs between a nonmetal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a metalloid?
When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.
Why does the metal's radius get smaller and the nonmetal's radius get larger during an ionic bond?
Because the metal loses an electron (making it smaller) and the non metal gains that electron, making it larger.
When a metal meets a nonmetal the nonmetal atom becomes what?
When a metal meets a nonmetal, the nonmetal atom tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming an anion (negatively charged ion) due to the addition of extra electrons. This creates an ionic bond between the metal cation and the nonmetal anion.
In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?
The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.
Is flouride a metal or non metal?
Fluoride is an ion formed by the nonmetal fluorine.
What are two characteristics of compounds that contain ionic bonds?
NaCl Sodium chloride, common table salt. A metal nonmetal bond and the (metal) cation, Na +, has donated an electron to the (nonmetal) anion, Cl -.
Is nails a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?
Nails are metal.
