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.
