What else can I help you with?
How is a molecule formed?
Molecules are formed when atoms lose electrons and then attach themselves to other atoms
Describe two ways that nonmetals can combine with other elements?
Nonmetals become stable by gaining or sharing enough valence electrons to have a set of eight valence electrons in a shell or energy level
Do atoms of different elements combine the same?
they combine with themselves atoms of different elements connot combine with each other wothout making a new molecule
What is the state of matter of most nonmetals?
Some are solid (eg carbon) some are gaseous (eg oxygen) and one is liquid (bromine).
What does not react naturally with elements?
The noble gases: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, all the gases in that chemical group or family. The noble gases do not usually form compounds, except under extreme conditions: high heat and pressure, and then only in the presence of a catalyst, such a platinum [Pt] or nickel [Ni].
What are formed when nonmetals combine with other nonmetals?
Ionic.
What links with a nonmetal?
A nonmetal typically forms covalent bonds with other nonmetals or with metalloids. Nonmetals can also react with metals to form ionic compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can combine with nonmetallic elements to form compounds, such as sulfur combining with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide.
Does nickel combine with other element?
Nickel is one of the less chemically active metals. It does not easily combine with other elements.
What types of atoms compose each type of compound only metals only nonmetals or both?
For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.
What sort of atoms do metals combine with?
Metals combine with other metals to form alloy solutions, they can form solutions with other compounds by being dissolved in them, in most cases. As well, they form ionic bonds with nonmetals.
What can chromium combine with?
Chromium can combine with various elements to form different compounds. For example, it can combine with oxygen to form chromium oxide, with carbon to form chromium carbide, and with sulfur to form chromium sulfide. Additionally, chromium can also combine with other metals to form alloy compounds.
What kind of bond forms when nonmetals combine with other nonmetals?
This is called a covalent bond.
What type of elements form compounds that consist of molecules?
Covalent bonds are typically formed between nonmetals, which then combine to form molecules in compounds. These elements share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and create distinct molecular structures. Ionic bonds, on the other hand, form compounds that consist of ions rather than molecules.
What is the difference between ionic and molecular compound?
Ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms, leading to the formation of ions held together by electrostatic forces. On the other hand, molecular compounds are formed through the sharing of electrons between atoms, resulting in the creation of molecules held together by covalent bonds. Ionic compounds typically consist of a metal and a nonmetal, while molecular compounds involve nonmetals bonding with other nonmetals.
What elements do nonmetals react to?
Nonmetals commonly react with metals to form ionic compounds. Nonmetals can also react with other nonmetals to form covalent compounds. Additionally, nonmetals can react with oxygen, hydrogen, and halogens to form various types of compounds.
Do atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms?
No, atoms of nonmetals usually gain electrons when they combine with other atoms. Nonmetals have a tendency to attract electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically by forming covalent bonds with other nonmetals or by gaining electrons to form anions.
What elements do nonmetals react with?
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
