I WONDER - Can Metals And Non Metals Form Compounds?

The video tutorial explains how compounds with new properties are formed by combining elements. It uses the example of sodium, a reactive metal, and chlorine, a toxic gas, to illustrate how they form table salt, a stable compound safe for consumption. The process involves metals giving away outer electrons and non-metals accepting them, resulting in a stable compound.

What is the primary focus of the introduction in the video?

• The process of photosynthesis

• The creation of compounds with new properties

• The history of chemistry

• The periodic table of elements

Which two elements combine to form table salt?

• Nitrogen and hydrogen

• Sodium and chlorine

• Hydrogen and oxygen

• Carbon and oxygen

What is a characteristic of sodium?

• It is a non-reactive metal

• It is a toxic gas

• It is a hard non-metal

• It is a soft reactive metal

Why do metals and non-metals form stable compounds?

• Non-metals give away electrons and metals accept them

• They do not form stable compounds

• Metals give away electrons and non-metals accept them

• Metals and non-metals repel each other

What happens to the outer electrons of metals in a compound?

• They are shared equally

• They are absorbed by the metal

• They are given away

• They remain unchanged
