When alkali metals are heated with hydrongen they form?
we call them hydrides. Hydrides are forming by the reaction.
When alkali metals are heated with hydrogen they form?
They form alkali metal hydrides. such as LiH and NaH.
Is a covalent bond normally formed when an alkali metal combines with a non-metal?
No, covalent bonds are not typically formed between alkali metals and non-metals. Alkali metals usually lose an electron to form positive ions, while non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions which are held together by ionic bonds.
How do alkali metals form compounds?
Alkali metals form compounds by donating their outermost electron to another element, typically a nonmetal. This electron transfer leads to the alkali metal becoming positively charged, while the nonmetal becomes negatively charged, creating an ionic bond between the two elements.
What is covalent hydrides?
Covalent hydrides are all the other compounds of hydrogen wher hydrogen is covalently bonded- typiccally sharing an electron pair as in CH4 (methane) which could be called carbon tetrahydride although this is not a recognised name.The term hydride is usually applied to ionic compounds of hydrogen and metals of group 1A (alkali metals) and group 2A (alkaline earth metals) (notale exception Be) . In these hydrides,metal atoms form positive ion by losing valence electronsand hydrogen forms negative ion gaining that electron in order to complete its shell.

In what two groups does hydrogen form ionic compounds?
Acids and Hydrides? Not 100% sure about Acids, i do know that Hydrides are right though.
What are the differences between Ionic Hydrides and Covalent hydrides?
Ionic hydrides are formed between metals and hydrogen, where hydrogen gains an electron to form the hydride ion. Covalent hydrides are formed between nonmetals and hydrogen, where they share electrons to form covalent bonds. Ionic hydrides are typically solid at room temperature, while covalent hydrides can be gases, liquids, or solids.
Is a covalent bond normally formed when an alkali metal combines with a non-metal?
No, covalent bonds are not typically formed between alkali metals and non-metals. Alkali metals usually lose an electron to form positive ions, while non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions which are held together by ionic bonds.
Why Be and Mg form polymeric hydrides and not ionic hydrides?
Beryllium and magnesium have high charge density and small atomic size, making it energetically more favorable for them to form covalent bonds with hydrogen atoms to create polymeric hydrides. The formation of ionic hydrides would require a stronger electron transfer, which is less favorable due to the large ionization energy of these metals.
Halogens form what when mixed with alkali metals?
The products of the reactions are ionic salts.
Is Na an ionic bond?
Sodium can form an ionic bond, but sodium (Na) is an element from the alkali metals group.
How do alkali metals form compounds?
Alkali metals form compounds by donating their outermost electron to another element, typically a nonmetal. This electron transfer leads to the alkali metal becoming positively charged, while the nonmetal becomes negatively charged, creating an ionic bond between the two elements.
Are alkali metals found in their uncmobined form?
No. they are all very reactive and are always found as ionic compounds.

What group will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds?
Halogens, such as chlorine or iodine, will react with alkali metals to form ionic bonds by transferring electrons from the alkali metal to the halogen. This results in the formation of ionic compounds like sodium chloride or potassium iodide.
