Is sodium chloride two metals two nonmetals a metal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a noble gas?
Sodium chloride contains the metal sodium and the non metal chlorine.
Is chlorine a non-metal?
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF Non-metals1-Outer shells contains four or more electrons.(and Chlorine contain in outer shell 5 electrons).2-Form ionic compounds with metals and molecular (covalent) compounds with other nonmetals.( -Chlorine Form ionic compound with metals, e.g. NaCl Sodium chloride . - And Chlorine Form covalent compound with otherNon-metals, e.g. CCl4, HCl
Does sodium form a covalent transferring or ionic transferring or ionic sharing bond with chlorine?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
Can chlorine bleach fumes explode?
Answer#1No. Chlorine (though deadly) is non-flammable. Pure chlorine can, however react explosively with certain metals. Much the same way metallic sodium reacts with water. BOOM!
When Sodium and Chlorine bond what kind of bond is this?
Ionic Bond (between metals and nonmetals)
How do you know what elements will form ionic compounds together?
Generally, metals and non-metals; as sodium and chlorine in sodium chloride.
Is sodium chloride two metals two nonmetals a metal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a noble gas?
Sodium chloride contains the metal sodium and the non metal chlorine.
What metal and non-metal makes sodium chloride?
Sodium and Chlorine. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a halide gas.
Are fluorine chlorine iodine are metals?
No thery are Non-Metals

What compounds are formed with the element of chlorine?
chlorine forms ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals.
Sodium and calcium are?
non-metals
What is the non metal in table salt?
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl; the metal is sodium.
Is sodium chloride classified as metals?
No, sodium chloride is classified as a salt. It is a compound fo sodium, a metal, and chlorine, a nonmetal.
Is chlorine metals or non metals?
Chlorine is a non-metal. It is found in group 7 of the Periodic Table of elements and has electronic configuration [Ne] 3s2 3p5.
