Question

when elements from group a combine with elements from group c, these compounds form - transition metals liquids nonconductive metals ionic salts clear all

Explanation:

Group A elements are alkali metals which are highly electropositive. Group C elements are non - metals (halogens) which are highly electronegative. When a metal and a non - metal combine, they transfer electrons. Alkali metals lose one electron to form cations (\(M^{+}\)) and halogens gain one electron to form anions (\(X^{-}\)). The electrostatic attraction between cations and anions forms ionic bonds. Ionic compounds formed by the combination of a metal (from Group A) and a non - metal (from Group C) are ionic salts. Transition metals are in the d - block (not Group A). Liquids is a state of matter, not a type of compound formed based on group properties. Non - conductive metals is a misnomer as metals are generally good conductors.

Answer:

ionic salts
