Usually an ionically bonded salt.

For Study Island~ binary ionic compound

When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride.

Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)

Is argon a metal or a solid?

Argon is a noble gas, not a metal. It is a colorless, odorless, and inert gas at room temperature and forms a gas in its elemental state.


Is catalyst always nonmetals true?

No, catalysts are not always nonmetals. They can be metals, metal oxides, or nonmetals, depending on the specific chemical reaction they facilitate. For example, transition metals like platinum and palladium are commonly used as catalysts in various industrial processes. The effectiveness of a catalyst is determined by its ability to lower the activation energy of a reaction, rather than its elemental classification as a metal or nonmetal.

Do metal atoms decrease in size when they combines with nonmetal atom?

As metals have to become metal ions in order to chemically combined with nonmetals they have to lose their valance electrons. This process is associated with making the atoms smaller.

How are metals named an ionic compound Nonmetals Polyatomic ions?

Metals in ionic compounds are named by using the metal's elemental name followed by the nonmetal's name with an "-ide" ending (e.g. sodium chloride). Nonmetals in ionic compounds use the nonmetal's elemental name followed by the metal's name with an "-ide" ending (e.g. oxygen and magnesium make magnesium oxide). Polyatomic ions maintain their specific names in ionic compounds (e.g. sulfate, nitrate, carbonate).


What determines what type of feldspars will form?
