There is no rule for this. It depends on which metal and non-metal is combined. There is no one general name for componends that are created in this, let`s call them, combinations of metal and non-metal. Read this few exemples in order to consider thet there is no name (general) for those solids.

1. If you mix liquid iron with small amounts of carbon, you are getting steel.

2. If you mix some metals with carbon, you get compaunds classefied as carbides

3. if you mix some metals with nitrogen, you are getting compaunds classefied as nitrides

4. If you mix some metals with hydrogene, you are getting compaunds classefied as hydrides (metalic hydrides)

It is possible to find more exemples like this, but the most important is that is not possible to put those compaunds in one class.

Another possibility is that you mix some metalic compaunds with non-mtalic compaunds, like bases and acides, in that case you are getting salts, but it is important to know that salts are not binar compaunds (made of two components). They can be, but in most cases they are not.

What can a metal and a nonmetal combined make?

Metals and non-metals combine through a sort of extreme electron sharing called ionic bonding. In ionic bonds, the metal atom is said to lose one or more of its electrons and give it to the nonmetal.

What kind of bond would a metal and a non metal typically make?

A metal and a nonmetal typically form an ionic bond. The metal atom donates electrons to the nonmetal atom, resulting in the formation of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction.

Is CaCl2 a metal or nonmetal?

Calcium Chloride is an ionic compound. You see, for a substance to be classified as either a non-metal or a metal, it has to be in elemental form. Calcium Chloride is a compound, so you can't say whether it is a non-metal or a metal. However, of the elements that make up this compound, Calcium is a metal and Chlorine is a non-metal.


Is selenium a metal or a non metal?

Nonmetal because Selenium is used to make light sensors so it cant melt at low temperatures and it conducts electricity at a low level like a lot of non - metalsSelenium is considered a nonmetal.

Do you think they will make Metal Gear Solid 5 when snake dies in MGS4?

Solid Snake doesn't die in Metal Gear Solid 4, and he will not be in Metal Gear Solid 5 There will not be a metal gear solid 5 as i read an exlusive interview with Hideo Kojima where he said there will not be a metal gear solid 5 instead they will make spin offs
