I wish I could help, but try to be more specific. There are 117 elements discovered so far... matching them up with all the different combinations is pretty difficult (and would probably take hours! or even days!).

However, I do know that the lower the atomic number, the less ionization energy is required for an element to bond with another. Think about it this way: there are different energy level in each atom. All the atoms "want" 8 electrons in their last level. They could lose electrons or they could gain them. In the families (columns) on the left of the periodic have the elements that would lose one electron, then two in the next family, etc. However, the last families would save more energy by gainingone or two electrons rather then by losing a bunch (That's where the lost electrons go). From there, atoms give away, steal, or share their electrons to be "happy." And that is how they bond.

I hope that helps a little! I know it probably doesn't answer your question, but you can always ask a more specific one if you can't figure it out. Good luck solving that!!

Select the statements that are true about electronegativity between elements and their type of bond?

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. In general, the greater the electronegativity difference between two atoms in a bond, the more polar the bond. A higher electronegativity difference between two elements in a bond typically results in an ionic bond while a smaller difference leads to a covalent bond.


What happens when 2 or more elements bond?

When two or more elements form a bond, they do so either by sharing electrons, or by one element donating and one element accepting electrons. In the former case, you have a covalent bond. In the latter case, it is an ionic bond.


What elements does magnesium like to bond to?

Magnesium typically forms ionic bonds with elements that are more electronegative, such as oxygen and nonmetals like sulfur, phosphorus, and nitrogen. It can also form metallic bonds with other metals in alloys.


Why don't elements in group 8 bond with other elements?

The elements in group 8 of the periodic table are iron (Fe), ruthenium(Ru), osmium(Os), and hassium(Hs). All four of these elements are grouped together because each of their atoms has a full valence shell containing the maximum of 8 electrons. Atoms seek to bond when their outer valance is unstable and has less than 8 electrons. Their goal is to fill the valance with 8 electrons to become chemically unable to bond or "chemically inert." That is the case with the group 8 elements. They have a complete or closed shell and that is why they do not bond with other elements.


Elements that bond together?

Elements bond together through interactions between their electrons. This can happen through sharing electrons in covalent bonds, transferring electrons in ionic bonds, or through electrostatic attractions in metallic bonds. These bonding interactions help elements achieve a stable electron configuration.
