When a metal is combined with a non metal does it form a covalent bond?

Usually a metal bonded and a nonmetal form an ionic bond. There are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which has covalent bonds.


What contains a metal and non-metal chemically combined?

A compound containing a metal and a non-metal chemically combined is called an ionic compound. In ionic compounds, metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ions, while non-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions, resulting in an attraction between the ions that holds the compound together. Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium oxide (CaO).


What is the oxidation number of hydrogeon when it is combined with a metal?

Hydrogen is a non metal. Metals are electropositive than hydrogen. Therefore, hydrogen atoms in metal hydrides have oxidation number -1.


Is CaCl an ionic compound?

CaCl is an ionic compound. Calcium is a metal, and chlorine is a non-metal. When combined, a metal and a non-metal form an ionic compound.


Is tribromide a metal?

No, tribromide is not a metal. It refers to a chemical compound containing three bromine atoms bonded to another element, often a non-metal. For example, phosphorus tribromide (PBr₃) is a compound where phosphorus, a non-metal, is combined with bromine. Therefore, tribromide itself does not represent a metallic substance.


Is nitrate a metal or non metal?

Nitrate is a polyatomic ion, not a standalone element, and it is composed of nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms. Nitrate is not a metal or a nonmetal, but it is considered an anion in most chemical reactions.


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.
