How is an ionic bond different than a covalent bond?

ionic bond conects a nonmetal and a metal. covalent bond connects a nonmetal and another nonmetal.


Which of the following is a covalent bond?

No following, but look for the nonmetal to nonmetal bond.


What happens what a nonmetal and a metal element 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.


When a nonmetal bonds with a nonmetal they form a what?

a covalent bond


What type of bond occurs between a nonmetal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a metalloid?

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.


Why ionic bond i formed when 2 nonmetal combine?

Ionic bond is specific for metal-nonmetal combinations.


What is the intermolecular bond of bromine chloride?

Bromine is a nonmetal as well as chlorine. A bond between a nonmetal and a nonmetal is a covalent bond.


What happens to the outer electrons of a metal when it joins a non metal?

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.


What happens to valence electrons as an ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal?

At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.


Is it a covalent bond or an ionic bond?

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.


When a metal reacts with a nonmetal a colvent bond is formed true or false?

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.


What kind of bond would a metal and a nonmetal typically?

An ionic bond.
