Why do atoms combine?
Atoms combine because they tend to complete their octets or duplets in the case of H, Li and Be. Another reason for the combination of atoms is the lowering of enthalpy that takes place when atoms combine together.
Name the conditions for the formation of an ionic bond between two atoms.
What is crystal lattice?

What type of bonding would you expect between:
(i) a metal and a non-metal
(ii) a non-metal and another non-metal?
Give reasons in one or two sentences for the observation that in their compounds non-metals form anions and not cations.
