I think what you are asking is what type of bond is formed, as there are no 'catch all' terms for compounds made from non-metals. Non-metals bond to each other covalently - with a covalent bond. That's the one where electrons are shared, not donated.

Can nonmetals replace other nonmetals in single replacement reactions?

No, nonmetals typically do not undergo single replacement reactions with other nonmetals. Single replacement reactions usually involve a metal replacing the cation in a compound, with nonmetals more commonly participating in double replacement reactions, synthesis reactions, or combustion reactions.


Does metals react with non metals?

As far as I know, non-metals like Carbon(C) and Sulphur(S) do not react with water. They are tightly binded, so they are insoluble too. Chilax
