metallic elements of course. it is generally any element that has less than 4 valence electrons,i.e. electrons in its outermost shell and is found to the left of carbon, silicon, germanium, tellurium, potanium in the Periodic Table.

What type of elements typically compose molecular compounds?

Molecular compounds are typically composed of nonmetals elements. These elements share electrons to form covalent bonds, resulting in molecules with stable structures. Common examples of molecular compounds include water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).


What has chemistry to do with minerals?

A lot. Most minerals are ionic compounds, which is the bond between a metal and a non-metal. Most ionic compounds are crystalline solids, and the type of structure and physical properties such as hardness and color depend upon which metallic elements bond with which non-metallic elements. Further, properties such as melting points of minerals are dependent upon the forces which attract an atom's electrons to its nucleus. When it comes down to it, rocks are all about atoms!


What types of atoms compose each type of compound only metals only nonmetal or both?

For "only metals" the answer is alloys or intermetallic compounds, formed of course from atom of metals - the bonds are of metallic type.All other chemical compounds contain atoms of chemical elements, metals or nonmetals.


How are elements and compounds the same?

An element is a material that consists of a single type of atom. Each atom type contains the same number of protons. Chemical bonds link elements together to form more complex molecules called compounds. A compound consists of two or more types of elements held together by covalent or ionic bonds.


What type of bond does rhodium form?

Rhodium can form different types of chemical bonds depending on the compounds it is a part of. It can form metallic bonds in solid rhodium metal, and it can also form covalent bonds with other elements in compounds. Rhodium can form coordination bonds with ligands in complex compounds due to its ability to stabilize various oxidation states.

Covalent and ionic. (The other major type of bond, metallic, does not occur in compounds but only in elemental metals and in mixtures of metals.)

In what ways do alloys differ from metallic elements?

Alloys are mixtures of two or more metallic elements, while metallic elements are pure substances made up of only one type of metal. Alloys have different properties than metallic elements, such as improved strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.


Compounds link up to make elements true or false?

False. Elements are made up of only one type of atom, whereas compounds are made up of different types of atoms chemically bonded together. Elements do not link up to form compounds.


How are elements and compounds similar to each other?

Both elements and compounds are made up of atoms. Elements are made up of only one type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically combined in fixed ratios. Both elements and compounds have unique physical and chemical properties based on the composition of their atoms.


Gold and silver are compounds or elements?

they are elements compounds are when you take two or more elements and mix them together.


What type of chemical bond is Al?

Aluminum typically forms metallic bonds in its elemental form. In ionic compounds, aluminum forms ionic bonds when it donates its three outer electrons to other elements.


How many different types of compounds are there?

Well depends what you mean by how many different types of compounds. In total? Or type 1 , and 2 etc. there is Type 1-Binary Compounds Type 2- Binary Trans-metallic Compounds Type 3- Binary Molecular Compounds Type 4- Ternary Compounds etc. these contains vast amounts of compounds so gives you an idea.


What type of bond is formed?

As a metal thorium has metallic bonds; in compounds ionic bonds are formed.
