Chemical Bonding
Ionic Bond between a Metal and Non-Metal (M + NM)
Covalent Bond between a Non-Metal and Non-Metal (NM + NM)
Metallic Bond between a Metal and Metal (M+ M)
Determine if the elements in the following compounds are metals or non-metals. Describe the type of bonding that occurs in the compound.
Compound
Element 1
(metal or non-metal?)
Element 2
(metal or non-metal?)
Bond Type
SrBr2
SrO
CN
PbCI2
NiO2
HBr
Cs2S
Au-Ag mixture
Mn2O3
Answer (1)
To determine the bond type, identify if each element is a metal or non-metal. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal, covalent bonds form between two non-metals, and metallic bonds form between metals. Each compound is evaluated by checking the periodic table classification of the elements involved.
