a reaction happens
When a nonmetal and a metal bond, the nonmetal gains electrons from the metal to form an ionic bond. The nonmetal becomes negatively charged (anion) and the metal becomes positively charged (cation), resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two ions.
The outer electrons of a metal atom that bonds with a nonmetal atom are either transferred to the nonmetal to form an ionic bond or shared with the nonmetal to form one or more covalent bonds.
An ionic bond
Metal and nonmetal combination typically forms an ionic bond, where one atom donates electrons to the other, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
When hydrogen, a nonmetal, bonds with oxygen, another nonmetal, they form a covalent bond. This results in the formation of a molecule of water (H2O), where the two atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
ionic bond conects a nonmetal and a metal. covalent bond connects a nonmetal and another nonmetal.
No following, but look for the nonmetal to nonmetal bond.
When a nonmetal and a metal bond, the nonmetal gains electrons from the metal to form an ionic bond. The nonmetal becomes negatively charged (anion) and the metal becomes positively charged (cation), resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two ions.
a covalent bond
When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.
Ionic bond is specific for metal-nonmetal combinations.
Bromine is a nonmetal as well as chlorine. A bond between a nonmetal and a nonmetal is a covalent bond.
The outer electrons of a metal atom that bonds with a nonmetal atom are either transferred to the nonmetal to form an ionic bond or shared with the nonmetal to form one or more covalent bonds.
At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.
a covalent bond is a bond between two nonmetals. the electrons are "shared" between the two atoms. example: H2O. an ionic bond forms between a metal and nonmetal. in an ionic bond, the electrons aren't shared, but are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, leaving the metal with a positive charge and the nonmetal with a negative charge. examples: MgO, NaCl.
False. When a metal reacts with a nonmetal, an ionic bond is typically formed, rather than a covalent bond. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are held together by electrostatic forces.
