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 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.


When an metal and a non-metal are combined what solid do they make?

There is no rule for this. It depends on which metal and non-metal is combined. There is no one general name for componends that are created in this, let`s call them, combinations of metal and non-metal. Read this few exemples in order to consider thet there is no name (general) for those solids. 1. If you mix liquid iron with small amounts of carbon, you are getting steel. 2. If you mix some metals with carbon, you get compaunds classefied as carbides 3. if you mix some metals with nitrogen, you are getting compaunds classefied as nitrides 4. If you mix some metals with hydrogene, you are getting compaunds classefied as hydrides (metalic hydrides) It is possible to find more exemples like this, but the most important is that is not possible to put those compaunds in one class. Another possibility is that you mix some metalic compaunds with non-mtalic compaunds, like bases and acides, in that case you are getting salts, but it is important to know that salts are not binar compaunds (made of two components). They can be, but in most cases they are not.
