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.
How do you moving an electron from the metal to the non metal What happens?
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
Do metal atoms decrease in size when they combines with nonmetal atom?
As metals have to become metal ions in order to chemically combined with nonmetals they have to lose their valance electrons. This process is associated with making the atoms smaller.
What can a metal and a nonmetal combined make?
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.
How is a chemical bond formed between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom?
by an ionic bond, which is the electrostatic attraction between positively charged ions
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 nitrogen a metal atom?
No. It is a nonmetal.
When a metal meets a nonmetal the nonmetal atom becomes what?
When a metal meets a nonmetal, the nonmetal atom tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming an anion (negatively charged ion) due to the addition of extra electrons. This creates an ionic bond between the metal cation and the nonmetal anion.
What kind of bond would a metal and a non metal typically make?
A metal and a nonmetal typically form an ionic bond. The metal atom donates electrons to the nonmetal atom, resulting in the formation of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions that are held together by electrostatic attraction.

What charge does the atom have when a metal and a nonmetal meet?
it forms an ionic compound
What 2 atoms form an ionic bond?
Typically, a metal atom (such as sodium or potassium) forms an ionic bond with a nonmetal atom (such as chlorine or oxygen). The metal atom donates electrons to the nonmetal atom, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are attracted to each other.
What can a metal and a nonmetal combined make?
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.
If you have a bond between a metal atom and nonmetal atom which of the two is more electronegative?
Generally the electronegativity is greater for nonmetals.
Is ionic a metal and non metal?
Yes, ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal. In an ionic bond, a metal atom donates electrons to a nonmetal atom, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
