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.
What is between the nonmetal and metal on the periodic table?
metalloids
What solid would have the greatest tendency to shatter upon impact with a hammer metal metalloid or nonmetal?
Usually nonmetal, if all of them are compared as solids, because nonmetals have weaker intermolecular bonds.
Where is the approximate dividing line between metal and nonmetal?
Goloo
Is barium permanganate is a metal or nonmetal?
it can be a metal or nonmetal or metalliods
What bond is between a metal and a metal?
Metal - metal compounds don't exist... Only metal-nonmetal and nonmetal-nonmetal
Why covalent bond generally forms between atoms of non metal?
The electronegativity difference between nonmetals is relatively small, so such compounds are nearly always covalent. On the other hand the electronegativity difference between a metal and a nonmetal is often fairly large, so metal-nonmetal compounds are usually ionic.
What is a ionic a nonmetal or metal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
What structural units make up metalic solids?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
Is ionic bonds a metal or nonmetal?
it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons
Are all solid element metal?
No the metalloids (a.k.a. semimetals) are solids as are five of the nonmetal elements.

Is MnCl2 an ioinic or covalent bond?
Ｎｉｇｇｅｒ
When does and ionic bond form between a metal and a nonmetal?
If the difference in the electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, then an ionic bond is formed.
What is the electronegativity difference between fluorine and francium?
The Pauling electronegativity of francium (metal) is 0,7 and the electronegativity of fluorine (nonmetal) is 3,98.
How do you know that a bond between magnesium and chlorine will be ionic?
The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, Magnesium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
Is gold a semimetal?
No it is a metal. Not a semimetal. A semimeatal is in between metal and nonmetal.
