When non metals and metals are combined, the result is an ionic compound.
Often, an ionic compound salt.
Metals are more common on the periodic table than nonmetals and metalloids combined. The majority of elements on the periodic table are classified as metals.
Bromine is the only element that matches this description.
Non Metals
Negative ions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons, making them nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
When nitrogen is combined with other elements, it forms compounds called nitrides. Nitrogen can form nitrides with metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.
Metals are more common on the periodic table than nonmetals and metalloids combined. The majority of elements on the periodic table are classified as metals.
Metals form compounds very easily with non-metals.
Chlorine has an oxidation state of -1 when it forms an ionic compound with metals. It has an oxidation state of +1, +3, +5, or +7 when combined with nonmetals or as a free element.
Metalloids do not contain either metals or nonmetals. They are elements that have properties of both metals and metalloids, and are found between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
Metals are more common than nonmetals. The majority of elements on the periodic table are metals, and they are found in various forms in nature. Nonmetals are less abundant and typically found in combination with other elements in compounds.
The elements that generally form ionic bonds are the metals and nonmetals.
Bromine is the only element that matches this description.
Non Metals
Negative ions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons, making them nonmetals. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions.
Metals: alkaline metals Nonmetals: halogens
because metalloids usually have properties that are similar to metals and nonmetals
