Is flouride a metal or non metal?
Fluoride is an ion formed by the nonmetal fluorine.
What charge do alkali metals form when they react with a halogen?
here r the possisble answers: both atoms lose 1 electron a covalent bond forms metal gains an electron and the nonmetal loses an electron metal loses an electron and non metal gains an electron
Are bonds that form between two nonmetal atoms are usually ionic bonds?
False. Bonding between two nonmetals usually involves the sharing of an electron cloud. This shared cloud is known as covalent bonding. Examples of this bonding include the elemental diatomic molecules of oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) gas.
What two elements for example a metal and nonmetal where one gains an electron and the other looses an electron?
One example is sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal). Sodium can lose an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+), while chlorine can gain an electron to form a chloride ion (Cl-). These ions then combine to form the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl).
How do you moving an electron from the metal to the non metal What happens?
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
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 type of bond occurs between a nonmetal and a nonmetal or a nonmetal and a metalloid?
When nonmetals bond with metals the nonmetals will take electrons from the metal to fill their electron shell and empty the shell of the metal. The electrical attraction of the (+) charged metal and the (-) charged nonmetal form an ionic bond between the two.Nonmetals share electrons in a covalent bond.
Is flouride a metal or non metal?
Fluoride is an ion formed by the nonmetal fluorine.
When a metal meets a nonmetal the nonmetal atom becomes what?
When a metal meets a nonmetal, the nonmetal atom tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming an anion (negatively charged ion) due to the addition of extra electrons. This creates an ionic bond between the metal cation and the nonmetal anion.
Is hydrogen in the alkaili metals metals?
No. Hydrogen is a nonmetal. It is only put in the alkali metal column because it has a similar electron configuration.
IS CaO a ionic compound or a covalent molecule?
CaO is an ionic compound because it is composed of a metal (Ca) and a nonmetal (O). Ionic compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal by transferring electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Is bromide a metal?
No, bromide is not a metal. It is a chemical compound that contains the element bromine, which is a nonmetal. Bromide ions are formed when bromine gains an electron to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
Evaluate these electron configurations and determine which represents the most active nonmetal?
The most active non metal would be fluorine, 9F2 with electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p5 If you were making pure fluorine, what would you have ready to collect your product in? (should you be ready for the most reactive nonmetal to react with anything you put it in)?
What charge do alkali metals form when they react with a halogen?
here r the possisble answers: both atoms lose 1 electron a covalent bond forms metal gains an electron and the nonmetal loses an electron metal loses an electron and non metal gains an electron
What kind of atoms would typically form ionic bond?
Metal and nonmetals form ionic bonds. The metal atom will give one or more electrons to the nonmetal atom. This is so that they can both have full electron shells. But by donating and accepting electrons, the metal becomes a positive ion as it has more protons than electrons, and the nonmetal becomes a negative ion as it has more electrons than protons. For instance, sodium chloride (salt). The sodium (metal) gives an electron to chlorine (nonmetal). By getting rid of one electron, the metal atom gains a full outer electron shell, and by accepting three electrons ( from 3 sodium atoms), the nonmetal atom also gains a full outer electron shell. But they both become ions. Hope this helps ( I'm only 14)
Is a covalent bond formed with metal or non metal compounds?
A covalent bond is typically formed between nonmetal atoms, as they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals usually form metallic bonds by delocalizing electrons within a sea of electron cloud, rather than sharing electrons in a covalent bond.
When do covalent bonds tend to form?
Covalent bonds tend to form when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, usually by filling their outer electron shell. This sharing allows both atoms to achieve a more stable energy state by completing their electron configuration.
