How do you moving an electron from the metal to the non metal What happens?

If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed.
If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed.
If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.

Do Nonmetals with lower electron affinity have higher reactivity?
No. The most reactive non metal, fluorine, has the highest electron affinity.
Are non metal invisible?
Yes: wave a metal detector over the sample. If nothing happens, it's a non metal.
What charge do alkali metals form when they react with a halogen?
here r the possisble answers: both atoms lose 1 electron a covalent bond forms metal gains an electron and the nonmetal loses an electron metal loses an electron and non metal gains an electron
What happens when a metal atom 'meets' a nonmetal atom?
When metals and non-metals come in contact with one another -metal atoms lose electrons to form positively charged ionsnon-metal atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged ions
Why neon a non metal?
Neon is an element with all its electron shells filled it is a noble gas.
What happens to electron in ionic bonds?
In ionic bonding, the metal loses the electron forming the cation and the non metal gains that electron forming the anion
When an alkali metal reacted with a non metal what happens to the loan outer shell electron?
The electron outside the shell donate its electron to the one inside the shell
How can hydrogen act ad a metal and a nonmetal?
Hydrogen has 1 electron. It can easily gain or lose electron to form metal or non metal
Why is hydrogen both metal and non metal?
Since it has 1 valence electrons it is a metal and also non metal because it may loose 1 electron to stabilize or also gain 1 electron to stabilize. Metals loose electrons and non-metals gain electron and hydrogen have both metallic (to loose) and non-metallic (to gain) properties.
What is compound having transfer of electron of a metal element and a non metal element?
buwisit
How do you know is a compound is ionic?
Well, a covalent bond is a bond between anything. An ionic bond is a bond in which the non-metal takes an electron from the metal that it's bonding to. Since the metal has lost an electron, it becomes positively charged, and the non-metal, which has gained an electron becomes negatively charged. And so they bond together, as a polar molecule. So an ionic bond is always going to be a metal bonded to a non-metal. Make sense?
Why does graphite conduct electric current though it is a non metal?
it doesnot depend on meta l or non metal it depends on valence electron ........
Whish is the lithest non metal?
The lightest non metal is hydrogen. It has Atomic Number 1 with just one proton and one electron.
Ionic formed when?
Whenever an electropositive element (metal) reacts with an electronegative element (non metal) the transfer of electron takes place from metal to a non-metal forming ionic bond.
Why does the metal's radius get smaller and the nonmetal's radius get larger during an ionic bond?
Because the metal loses an electron (making it smaller) and the non metal gains that electron, making it larger.
Where are the valance electrons located in the electron configuration?
depending the types of metal or non-metal in periodic table.
Why is the electronegativity of nonmetal higher than metal?
All metal has less number of proton when compared to non-metal, in another word all metal has low effective nucleus charge compared to non-metal, the high effective nucleus charge causes the non-metal has higher electronegative than metal as the term electronegative means the ability to accept electron from others and in order to do that the nucleus of the atom ( effective nucleus charge ) must be high enough. That explain why metal donate electron due to low electronegative and non-metal accept electron due to high electronegative.
