How are the salts named?

Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride


Is flouride a metal or non metal?

Fluoride is an ion formed by the nonmetal fluorine.


What two elements for example a metal and nonmetal where one gains an electron and the other looses an electron?

One example is sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal). Sodium can lose an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+), while chlorine can gain an electron to form a chloride ion (Cl-). These ions then combine to form the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl).


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.


How do you know if an ionic compound between an alkali metal with a nonmetal is done correctly?

Since all alkali metals form a 1+ ion, the number of alkali metal atoms in the formula should be equal to the charge on the negative ion.

Is sulphate a nonmetal?

Sulfate is a negative ion composed of the nonmetals sulfur and oxygen bus is itself not a metal or a nonmetal. The sulfate ion does not exist as a substance on its own. Its charge must be balanced by a positive ion the identity of that ion is variable.


Is NO3 a metal or nonmetal?

NO3 is a polyatomic ion, specifically the nitrate ion, which is composed of one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. Nitrate is a negatively charged ion and is classified as a nonmetal.


Is Acetate a metal or non-metal?

Acetate is not any single substance, but a group or ion found in certain esters and salts. It is composed of the nonmetals hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. Because it is not an element it cannot properly be considered a metal or a nonmetal.


Is sodium hydroxide metal or nonmetal?

Sodium hydroxide is a compound composed of sodium, a metal, and hydroxide, a polyatomic ion. Therefore, sodium hydroxide is not a metal or a nonmetal but rather an ionic compound.

Is NaClO ionic or molecular?

NaClO is an ionic compound. It is composed of a metal (Na), a nonmetal (Cl), and a polyatomic ion (O).


Does salt contain a metal and a nonmetal?

Yes. Salt contains a metal ion and a nonmetal ion bonded together by an ionic bond.


Which of these compounds is ionic 1 SrO 2 LiI 3 NH3 4 ICl 5 NH4Cl 6 SO2?

The ionic compounds are SrO, LiI, and NH4Cl. SrO is composed of a metal (Sr) and a nonmetal (O), LiI is composed of a metal (Li) and a nonmetal (I), and NH4Cl is composed of an ammonium ion (NH4+) and a chloride ion (Cl-).


Is hydroxide metal or nonmetal?

Neither. Hydroxide is a polyatomic ion, not an element or even a substance. Only elements can be regarded as metal or nonmetals.


Iodide is it metal nonmetal or mettaloid?

It is an Ion


Is ammonium a metal or nonmetal?

ammonium NH4 does not state that is a metal or non metal because it has valency 1 that is a properties for a metal but also has nitrogen and hydrogen are both present in it which are both non metals , so it cannot be stated that ammonium is a metal or non metal.


Does fluoride have metal in its formula?

Fluoride itself is just the ion of the nonmetal fluorine. To form a substance it must be combined with a positive ion. In most cases, but not all, this positive ion is a metal. In most dental products contain sodium fluoride, sodium being a metal. Fluoride is sometimes confused with the mineral fluorite, which is calcium fluoride. Calcium is also a metal.
