What kind of bonds do metals and nonmetals form?
Metals and nonmetals form ionic bonds.
Do nonmetals only combine with nonmetals?
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids
Are Ba and Ca metals or nonmetals?
they are metals
Do the elements go from metals to nonmetals or nonmetals to metals?
Moving from left to right on the periodic table, the elements generall go from metal to nonmetals.
Are metals and nonmetals both good conductors?
no because metals conduct heat and electricity well, but nonmetals do not
