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.


Which affect metals base or acid?

Usually acids are known to affect metals. this rule applies for acid + metal reactions. An acid + a metal reacts to give a metal salt + hydrogen Eg: Zinc + Hydrochloric acid reacts to give zinc chloride + HydrogenThe above answer is correct, but should not be taken to mean that only acids affect metals. A concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide dissolves aluminum quite quickly.


What is the ion found i all acids?

The hydrogen ion (H+) is found in all acids. When an acid dissolves in water, it releases hydrogen ions, which give acids their characteristic sour taste and ability to react with metals.

Doeds acid and metal react to give off oxygen?

No. acids and metals react to give off hydrogen.


Which metal and acid would react together to give off oxygen?

Most metals react with acids to give off hydrogen. Only very nonreactive metals, like gold and platinum do not react with metals. An example would be: Calcium + Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium chloride + Hydrogen gas (Ca +2 HCl = CaCl2 + H2)


What kind of ion does acids contain?

Acids contain hydrogen ions (H+). When an acid dissolves in water, it releases hydrogen ions, which give acidic solutions their characteristic properties like sour taste and ability to react with metals.
