What else can I help you with?
If metals loose electrons to non metals are metals now anions?
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Do non metals form ions by losing or gaining electrons?
yes, nonmetals gain electrons when forming ionic bonds, and metals loose electrons when forming an ionic bond
Why is it easy for a metal to loose an electron?
Metals useually have few valence electrons and they loose electrons from their outermost shell thus, forming an ion with positive charge (cations). This is because it is easy for metals to loose electron and attain stable or octet configuration similar to rare gases. Hence to attain stability metals lose valence electrons. E.g. sodium (At no. =11 ; electronic configu-1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1) metal has one valence electron and it is easy for it to loose 1e rather to gain 7e to attain stable configuration. Hence it loose 1e forming Na+ cation.
What periodic trends are most significant in metals?
Metals form cations. They loose electrons.
How many electrons must beryllium loose to become stable?
Beryllium is a stable element.
Why do metals tend to loose electrons?
Metals tend to lose electrons because they have low ionization energies, meaning it requires less energy to remove an electron from a metal atom compared to non-metal atoms. This allows metals to easily form positive ions by losing electrons, which helps them achieve a more stable electronic configuration.
How many electrons does a nonmetal and metal receive during a chemical reaction?
In general chemical reactions, metals tend to loose electrons and non-metals gain electrons. The no. of electrons loosed by metals is the same as the no. of electrons gained by the non-metals.
What are the 2 groups that divide the periodic table and their properties?
Metals and non-metals are the two groups. Metal loose electrons. Non metals gain electrons.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
What types of atoms form positive ions?
atoms that belong to a metal element....because metals always loose electrons and gain a positive charge..!
