What else can I help you with?
When two atoms of the same nonmetal react they often form a.?
They often form a diatomic molecule.
What element other than Carbon has atoms that will react with other elements to form a variety of compounds?
There are very many elements which will do that.
What element can act as both an electron donor and an electron acceptor?
Hydrogen, depending upon what element it is combining with, can act either as a metal or a nonmetal. But as a nonmetal it shares electrons in the form of covalent bonds, rather than actually donating them. Similarly, carbon can react with metals or nonmetals but forms covalent bonds. To truly donate or accept electrons is to form ionic bonds, and no element has the flexibility to form ionic bonds both as a donor and as an acceptor. Elements can do one or the other, if they form ionic bonds. Some elements only form covalent bonds.
What kind of element metal or nonmetal can form an anion?
Non-metals gain electrons. Hence, they can easily form anions.
Are K and Cl molecular?
No, potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl) are not molecular. Potassium is a metallic element that exists as individual atoms, while chlorine is a nonmetal that typically exists as diatomic molecules (Cl₂) in its elemental form. When potassium and chlorine react, they form the ionic compound potassium chloride (KCl), which consists of potassium ions (K⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻) rather than discrete molecular units.
When two atoms of the same nonmetal react they often form a.?
They often form a diatomic molecule.
When two atoms of the same nonmetal react the often form an?
Diatom via a covalent bond
What is carbon and argon combined?
When carbon and argon are combined, they do not form a compound. Carbon is a nonmetal element, while argon is a noble gas, so they do not easily react with each other to form a stable compound.
How many electrons will the metal sodium atoms lose when the metal reacts with a nonmetal?
Sodium atoms will typically lose 1 electron when they react with a nonmetal to form an ionic compound. This electron loss enables sodium to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas.
What compound is formed when you react an element with chlorine gas?
When an element reacts with chlorine gas, it can form a metal chloride if the element is a metal, or a nonmetal chloride if the element is a nonmetal. For example, sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride, while sulfur reacts with chlorine gas to form sulfur dichloride.
Two bromine atoms form a metallic bond?
Bromine is a nonmetal element, so it cannot form a metallic bond with another bromine atom. Metallic bonds typically occur between metal atoms by sharing their valence electrons in a sea of delocalized electrons. Bromine tends to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons with other nonmetal atoms.
What element other than Carbon has atoms that will react with other elements to form a variety of compounds?
There are very many elements which will do that.
Sodium metal can react with the nonmetal chlorine to form what?
Sodium metal can react with the nonmetal chlorine to form sodium chloride, which is a white crystalline compound commonly known as table salt.
What type of bonds are formed when metal atoms combine with nonmetal Atoms?
Ionic bonds are formed when metal atoms combine with nonmetal atoms. Metal atoms tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, while nonmetal atoms tend to gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in the attraction between the oppositely charged ions forming the ionic bond.
Two atoms of bromine react with each other to form what bond?
In any diatomic element it is always a covalent bond.
What elements do nonmetals react with?
Nonmetals may react with metal to form ionic compounds (salts) or other nonmetal elements to form organic compounds.
Is a pencil a nonmetal?
The lead of a pencil is made mostly of the nonmetal carbon but the rest of the pencil is neither metal nor nonmetal (except for the bit of metal near the eraser) because it is not an element.
