18
Q

What type of bond takes place between 2 metals?

19
Q

What is the east reactive group?

20
Q

Why are metallic electrons able to conduct electricity?

A

the electrons are free

21
Q

Water is an example of what bond?

22
Q

2 nonmetals make a…..

A

covalent bond

23
Q

What is in every nucleus?

A

protons and neutrons

24
Q

Sodium chloride is what type of bond? (NaCl)

25
What's the difference between reactive and nonreactive?
Nonreactive are the noble gases, which don't bond. Reactive (everything else) does bond.
