Question

6. What type of compounds are usually formed between
metals and non-metals and why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Metals and nonmetals usually combine to form an electrovalent bond because metallic elements that have 1,2, or 3 valence electrons tend to lose electrons and non-metallic elements which have 5,6 or 7 valence electrons tend to receive electron.

Answer 2

Answer:

metals and nonmetals usually form ionic compounds.

Explanation:

metals want to give up electrons, and nonmetals want to gain electrons to satisfy their valency that's why ionic bonds is formed between metals and nonmetals.

ex :-

MG + CL = MGCL2
