Will all combinations of metals and non-metals form an ionic bond? Why or why not?

Sagot :

All combinations of metals and non-metals form an ionic bond. Thus, the answer to this statement is yes. This is for the reason that ions form after ionic bonding between metals and nonmetals.

Elements form a chemical bond to be able to have an eight valence electron in their valence shell to become stable.

In forming a chemical bond, metals tend to give their electrons resulting to metals having more protons than electron forming a positive ion. Thus metallic elements form cations after ionic bond.

On the other hand, non-metals can only accept electrons but not give them thus having more electrons than proton forming a negative ion.  

When metal bond with non-metals, this chemical bond forms a positive and a negative ion. With the formation of the ions, we can tell that ionic bond take place between metals and nonmetals.
