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.
Nails are metal.
it can be a metal or nonmetal or metalliods
nonmetal
The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.
Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.
metal and non metal combined.
A covalent bond is formed. A molecular compound is formed.
When two metals are combined, they form an alloy, which is a solid solution of different metals. When a metal and a nonmetal are combined, they form an ionic compound through the transfer of electrons between the two elements.
No its ionic because its a metal and nonmetal combined
A covalent bond is formed. A molecular compound is formed.
Nails are metal.
Usually a metal bonded and a nonmetal form an ionic bond. There are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which has covalent bonds.
Look at the periodic table of the Elements. Go to group three. All the metals down that list will lose 3 electrons with combined with a nonmetal to form an ionic compound.
they make attract the DUST
Metal is metal. Nonmetal is everything else.
Is ceramic metal or nonmetal
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
