What type of atoms does an ionic bond occurs between?
A metal and a non-metal
Why diamond is a non metal?
Diamond is classified as a non-metal because it is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a covalent network structure. Unlike metals, which have free electrons that can move throughout the material, diamond's carbon atoms are held together by strong covalent bonds, making it a non-metal.
Do non-metal atoms need to gain electrons or loose them?
They need to gain them.
What are the two ways that non metal atoms attract additional electrons?
Non-metal atoms attract additional electrons through either gaining electrons to fill their outer electron shell and achieve a stable electron configuration (accomplished by accepting electrons from other atoms or ions), or by sharing electrons with other atoms to form covalent bonds.
What happens when a metal atom 'meets' a nonmetal atom?
When metals and non-metals come in contact with one another -metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ionsnon-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions
How many non metal atoms are in Cu2O?
In Cu2O, there are 2 copper atoms, which are metals, and 1 oxygen atom, which is a non-metal. So, there is 1 non-metal atom (oxygen) in Cu2O.
How many non metal atoms are in naf?
In sodium fluoride (NaF), there is 1 non-metal atom, which is fluorine (F). Sodium (Na) is a metal atom.
Are small atoms more likely to be metal or non metal?
metal
What consists of two non metal atoms?
Covalent bonds may contain two non metal atoms. Example is CH4.
A non-metal bonding to a non- metal makes what charge?
it depends on the valency of the atoms
Does carbon dioxide only contain non metal atoms?
yes both the carbon and oxygen are non metal atoms but beside this carbodioxide is lethal
Are molecules made up of metal or non metal atoms or both?
Molecules can be made up of both metal and non-metal atoms, depending on the type of compound. For example, ionic compounds such as sodium chloride (NaCl) consist of a metal atom (sodium) and a non-metal atom (chlorine), while covalent compounds like water (H2O) can consist of non-metal atoms only.
Is CBr4 metal or non-metal?
Yes
What type of atoms does an ionic bond occurs between?
A metal and a non-metal
what usually happens when a metal reacts with a nonmetal?
electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions resulting in an ionic compound
What ionic bond?
Ionic bonds refer to the attraction between metal ions and non-metal ions due to the electrostatic attraction.It is formed by the electron transfer between the metal atoms and the non-metal atoms. It is non-directional and electrically neutral. Electrolysis can be used to separate the ions into their original atoms. p.s. metals always form cations and non-metal always form anions.
What types of bond are formed between non-mental atoms?
Covalent bonds are formed between non-metal atoms
