What are the properties that define an element as a non-metal?
- many nonmetals are gaseous or liquids- densities are not high- hardness of solid elements is not high- nonmetals form frequently anions- nonmetals form frequently compounds with covalent bonds
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 causes OJ to rust a nail?
Rust occurs when a metal oxidizes. The ingredients needed to make a metal rust is oxygen and breaking compounds such as the citric acid in orange juice or salty water in oceans.
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are known as?
Metal compounds made of two or more metallic elements are usually called ALLOYS. However, there are true compounds and these are often known simply as inter-metallic compounds.
Is NaF a metal or non metal?
Description belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as alkali metal fluorides. These are inorganic compounds in which the largest halogen atom is fluorine, and the heaviest metal atom is an alkali metal. Kingdom Inorganic compounds
How are metals named an ionic compound Nonmetals Polyatomic ions?
Metals in ionic compounds are named by using the metal's elemental name followed by the nonmetal's name with an "-ide" ending (e.g. sodium chloride). Nonmetals in ionic compounds use the nonmetal's elemental name followed by the metal's name with an "-ide" ending (e.g. oxygen and magnesium make magnesium oxide). Polyatomic ions maintain their specific names in ionic compounds (e.g. sulfate, nitrate, carbonate).
Why does metal link up with nonmetals?
to form compounds
How are nonmetals in ionic compounds named?
Nonmetals(anion) are written second after the metal(cation).
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.
Is sulfur metal nonmetal or metalloid?
There is no known "sulfur metal". Sulfur is a nonmetal element, but in compounds with more electronegative nonmetals, such as oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine, sulfur can have a positive oxidation state.
What elements do nonmetals react with?
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
The -ide ending usually tells us that the compound is what?
The -ide ending typically indicates that the compound is made up of two elements, with the second element being a non-metal. These compounds are known as binary compounds.
What is the odd one out oxygen iron carbon or sulfur?
Iron. Iron is a metal while the others are nonmetals
What is oxygens family name?
Oxygen belongs to the chalcogen family, which is a group of nonmetals on the periodic table known for their chemical properties like forming compounds with metals.
What is formed by combining oxygen with metal?
When oxygen combines with a metal, it forms metal oxides. These can be in the form of various compounds depending on the metal involved. Oxides are chemical compounds where oxygen has a -2 oxidation state.
Are vitamins a metal nonmetal metalloid or a noble gas?
None of these. Vitamins are generally compounds of various elements
Is nitrogen oxygen metal or nonmetal?
Nitrogen and oxygen are nonmetals. Metals are typically characterized by their ability to conduct electricity, while nonmetals are typically poor conductors of electricity. Nitrogen and oxygen do not exhibit metallic properties such as conductivity.
