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.
What is the rule if a metal and non metal are combined?
When a metal and a non-metal combine, they form an ionic compound. The metal atom loses electrons to become a positively charged ion (cation), while the non-metal atom gains electrons to become a negatively charged ion (anion). These oppositely charged ions attract each other through electrostatic forces to form an ionic bond.
What happens when a metal atom 'meets' a nonmetal atom?
When metals and non-metals come in contact with one another -metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ionsnon-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions
Is NaCl a metal or non-metal?
Sodium chloride is a compound, not a chemical element.
Why paper is a non metal?
some paper is. but its mostly made out of plastic from fish guts.
When a metal and a non metal element combine they form what type of compound ionic or molecular?
A metal and a non-metal bond to form an ionic compound.
What type of elements combine with a covalent bond?
non-metal elements combine with covelant bonds
A non metal element that can combine to make table salt?
This is chlorine (Cl).
Which pair of elements will combine to form an ionic compound?
An ionic compound is formed when a metal and a non-metal combine. For example, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) combine to form sodium chloride (NaCl), which is an ionic compound.
What is the reaction of metal with non-metal?
When a metal reacts with a non-metal, they tend to form ionic compounds through a transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal. This transfer leads to the formation of positive metal ions and negative non-metal ions, which then combine to form a stable compound._examples of this include sodium chloride (table salt) formed from sodium metal and chlorine non-metal.
What types of elements form ionically?
Metal and non-metals combine together to form ionic bonds.
What is the ending of an ionic compound consisting of two elements a metal and a non-metal?
The ending of an ionic compound consisting of a metal and a non-metal is typically "-ide." For example, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) combine to form sodium chloride (NaCl).
When elements combine they form what compounds?
If the elements are both non-metals, they form a molecular compound. If they are both metals, they form a metallic bonds. If they are a metal and a non-metal they form ionic bonds (salts). (Ammonium salts are non-metals.)
What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?
Metals tend to lose electrons when they combine with non-metals like oxygen, forming positive ions. These positive ions then combine with the negative ions of non-metals like oxygen to form compounds, such as metal oxides.
What type of elements combine to form ionic compounds?
Ionic compounds are formed when a positively charged metal ion (cation) and a negatively charged nonmetal ion (anion) combine through electrostatic attraction. The metal atom loses electrons to become a cation, while the nonmetal atom gains electrons to become an anion, forming a stable compound with a neutral charge.
Is sodium and chlorine metals or non metals?
Sodium, copper and aluminum are all metals. Chlorine is not a metal.
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.
