∙ 15y agoNiobium is a metal.
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.
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.
Potassium metal is a metal that explodes when put in cold water. It causes a chemical reaction which results in a large explosion.
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons

synthesis
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."

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.
No it is a metal. Not a semimetal. A semimeatal is in between metal and nonmetal.
