What subscripts would most likely be used if an alkali metal and a nonmetal from group 6A formed an ionic compound?
The alkali metal would have a subscript of +1 while the nonmetal from group 6A would have a subscript of -2 to balance charges.
What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.

A compound will have a covalent structure if it is made from?
A compound will have a covalent structure if it is made from two or more nonmetal atoms that share electrons to form bonds. Covalent compounds are typically formed between elements on the right side of the periodic table.
Is lithium a nonmetal?
no, it is an alkali metal
Is alkali a nonmetal?
The elements in the alkali column of the periodic table are metals.
Is the element sodium a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Salt is a compound of Sodium (Na) and of Chlorine (Cl), thus, it is a nonmetal because it is a compound of 2 nonmetals. Na is not a nonmetal it is a highly active metal. This can be easily googled.
