The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt".

Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle

= Sodium chloride (salt).

What forms when nonmetals and metals are combined?

When non metals and metals are combined, the result is an ionic compound. Often, an ionic compound salt.


Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?

No, nonmetals can also combine with metals to form compounds. This type of bonding usually involves the transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in an ionic compound. Examples include sodium chloride (table salt) and calcium carbonate (chalk).


What is the extremely reactive nonmetals readily with the alkali metals to form salt?

The cause is the big difference between electronegativities.


When acids and bases react they form compounds called salt which are made of metals and nonmetals true or false?

Yes, it is correct.


What is the constituent elements of salt?

Table salt is NaCl, sodium chloride, composed of the elements sodium and chlorine. There are also many other types of salts, all composed of various combinations of metals and nonmetals.


Does salt contain metal particles?

The chemical formula for salt is NaCl, or Sodium Chloride. Both of these are usually toxic to humans, chlorine being poisonous and sodium combusting upon contact with water. Sodium is one of the Alkali Metal series, so it is a metal where as chlorine is a natural gas.


What compound forms when metals react with nonmetals?

I think what you are asking is what type of bond is formed, as there are no 'catch all' terms for compounds made from non-metals. Non-metals bond to each other covalently - with a covalent bond. That's the one where electrons are shared, not donated.


How many elements make salt?

Two, Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine). When bonded, they create NaCl, sodiumchloride, or common table salt.


What are alkali metal used for?

sodium (Na) is an alkali metal that is used to make table salt when ionic-ly bonded to chlorine (Cl) some other alkali metals can be found in things like fruit. potassium is found in bananas


Salts are formed by?

The reaction of an acid and a base. which of the following combinations form a salt? 1) two metals 2) two nonmetals 3) a metal and a nonmetal 4) a nonmetal and a noble gas


What do metals form?

Metal atoms form metal objects, such as forks, nails, I beams, etc. They also tend to form ionic compounds when they combine with nonmetals. Salt is partially metallic and so is stone.
