Niobium is a metal.
metal
The metal and nonmetal will tend to form an ionic bond between them when they combine chemically.
It depends on what it's made of. A metal is a conductor and a nonmetal is an insulator.
The metal tends to lose the electron because it has a higher electron affinity, and the nonmetal tends to gain the electron because it has a higher electronegativity. This has to do with the placement of the element on the periodic table. The further to the right you go, the more the element wants to gain electrons in an ionic compound.
The substance that results when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal consists of ionic bonds, and the substance's melting point also is high. When electrons are transferred from metal to nonmetal, ionic bonds are formed. However, when electrons are shared between two nonmetals, covalent bonds are formed.
Niobium is a metal. It belongs to d-block elements.
