There are certainly many combinations of metals and non-metals, but other types of binary molecules are also quite common, such as the binary oxygen molecule or the binary nitrogen molecule, in which you have two non-metals combined with eachother.
Two atoms will form an ionic bond by the complete transfer of the valence electrons if the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is above 1.7
Two atoms will form a covalent bond by the sharing of the valence electrons if the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is below 1.7
No, this is not true. Compounds between metals and nonmetals are usually ionic rather than molecular. Instead, binary molecular compounds are generally composed of two different nonmetals.
Usually ionic bonds are formed.
yes
true
It is Molecular Compound. You can tell because it starts with a nonmetal and molecular compounds typically start with nonmetals.
Some molecular compounds, such as methyl mercury, contain both metals and nonmetals. Most molecular compounds contain only nonmetals, and all molecular compounds contain at least one nonmetal element.
Hydrogen and chlorine are both nonmetals, and nonmetals form molecular compounds when bonded together. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal, and a metal and a nonmetal form an ionic compound.
There are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
If a compound contains at least one metal atom and at least one nonmetal atom, the compound is ionic. Na (Sodium) is a metal. Br (Bromine) is a nonmetal. Therefore, the compound NaBr is ionic.
Yes, most molecular compounds do not contain metals. (The term "nonmetal" properly applies only to elements, not compounds.)
a metal cation and a nonmetal anion
No, Calcium acetate is not a molecular compound since it's formed by a combination of nonmetals (C, H, and O) and metal (Ca). Compounds consisting of nonmetals and metals are ionic, metal and metal are metallic compounds, nonmetal and nonmetal is molecular.

nonmetal
Beryllium is a metal, not a nonmetal. It will generally form ionic compounds with nonmetals.
There are two types of compounds: molecular and ionic. ill give you an example of each Water-H20 molecular compound Salt-NaCl ionic compoundThere are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
Any kind of acid should be a molecular compound because molecular compounds consists of the combination of non metals. An ionic compound would consist of a metal and a nonmetal, but all acids have the element "H" followed by a gas and are therefor not ionic compounds.
None of these. Vitamins are generally compounds of various elements
Ionic compounds are often composed of a metal and a nonmetal chemically bonded by an ionic bond. Ionic compounds can also be composed of polyatomic ions, which are molecules that have either gained or lost one or more electrons. Sodium chloride, NaCl, is an ionic compound composed of the metal sodium and the nonmetal chlorine. Ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3 is an ionic compound composed of the polyatomic ammonium ion, NH4+ and the polyatomic nitrate ion, NO3-.
Yes, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a compound of a nonmetal and a nonmetal; therefore, it is covalently (molecular) bonded.
