What else can I help you with?
What kind of atoms tend to lose atoms?
Metals lose electrons.
What types of atoms easily lose electrons?
These with a positive charge.
The activity series of metals indicates the ease with which metal?
The activity series of metals indicates the ease with which metals can lose electrons and form positive ions. Metals higher in the series are more easily oxidized (lose electrons) compared to metals lower in the series.
What are metals that lose electrons easily called?
Metals that lose electrons easily are called "reactive metals" or "electropositive metals." These metals have low ionization energies, which allow them to readily give up electrons to form positive ions.
When non metals are most active they can do what?
easily gain electrons
Atoms of metals do what with electrons to become stable while atoms nonmetals tend to do what to electrons to become stable?
Choices: a) eject, retain B) lose, gain c) retain,gain d) gain, lose e) lose, retain
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
Atoms like sodium and lithium often lose electrons, which makes them?
The kind of atom that likes to be oxidized.
What types of atoms form positive ions?
atoms that belong to a metal element....because metals always loose electrons and gain a positive charge..!
What metals react with other metals what happens to the valence electrons of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
When non metals and metals react which atoms create electrons?
When nonmetals and metals react, it is typically the metal atoms that lose electrons. Metals tend to have low electronegativities, allowing them to easily give up electrons and form positive ions (cations). In contrast, nonmetals have higher electronegativities and tend to gain electrons, forming negative ions (anions). This transfer of electrons from metals to nonmetals is a key characteristic of ionic bonding.
When metals combine with nonmetals the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons to the atoms of the nonmetalsforming wich bond?
Ionic bond.
