There are two types of conductors 1- Metals and 2- Electrolytes, the compounds which become ionized in aqueous solution or in molten state are electrolyte so metal is a conductor of electricity but not an electrolyte.

What is the oxidation number of hydrogeon when it is combined with a metal?

Hydrogen is a non metal. Metals are electropositive than hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen atoms in metal hydrides have oxidation number -1.


Ionic formed when?

Whenever an electropositive element (metal) reacts with an electronegative element (non metal) the transfer of electron takes place from metal to a non-metal forming ionic bond.


Why boron is non metal?

THE STRONGER THE TENDENCY TO LOSE ELECTRONS,THE MORE ELECTROPOSITIVE AND MORE METALLIC AN ELEMENT IS.SINCE BORON IS VERY SMALL AND THE FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN THE NUCLEUS AND THE VALENCE ELECTRON IS VERY HIGH,AS WELL AS LARGE VALUE OF IONIZATION POTENTIAL INDICATES THAT BORON DOES NOT HAVE THE TENDENCY TO LOSE ELECTRONS THAT IS WHY IT IS LESS ELECTROPOSITIVE AND THEREFORE IT IS A NON-METAL


Which element in an ionic bond loses electrons?

The metal, which becomes a cation. The non-metal gains one or more electrons to form an anion.


Are there more non-metal elements than metallic ones?

there are more metals than non-metals on the periodic table


What pair of elements are most likely to form an ionic bond?

Highly electronegative and highly electropositive elements, e.g. Fluorine, Clorine, Oxygen, or Nitrogen and Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium or Barium.

Is aragon a metal non metal or a metalloid?

Argon is known to be non-metal. This forms in a group of 13 or more.


Is hf metal or non metal?

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a compound composed of hydrogen and fluorine atoms. Fluorine is a non-metal, while hydrogen is a non-metal as well. Therefore, HF is considered a covalent compound rather than a metal or non-metal.
