Are nonmetals more electronegative than metals?
Yes, non-metals are more electronegative than metals. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and it is a nonmetal.
What part of the periodic table is the most reactive and least reactive?
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?
Non-metals gain electrons.
Where are most electronegative elements located on periodic table?
Electronegativity is a characteristic property shared by ALL elements. Non-metals have the greatest (strongest force of electron attraction), and metals have the least (weak force of electron attraction)
What determines whether an atom forms a positive or negative charge in an ionic bond?
If an atom is electropositive (metals, in general), then they will lose electrons and form positive ions. If an atom is electronegative (non-metals, in general), then they will gain electrons and form negative ions.
Do metals or non metals have higher electronegativy?
In general, non metals are more electronegative
Are nonmetals more electronegative than metals?
Yes, non-metals are more electronegative than metals. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and it is a nonmetal.
What part of the periodic table is the most reactive and least reactive?
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?
Non-metals gain electrons.
Why do non metals gain electrons from metals?
Because they are more electronegative than metals, meaning they "want" the electrons more and are able to pull them off of the metal
What are the least eletronegative elements in the periodic table?
The metals in the lower left corner of the periodic table are the least electronegative.
Do non-metals gain electrons in chemical reactions?
during a chemical reaction valence electrons are most always transferred
What are the general prorperties of the elemnts in the group to the right in the modern periodic table?
Non metals are present to the right side. They possess electronegative character.
Which element is given first the more electronegative or less electronegative?
fluorine is most electronegative and cesium is least electronegative
Where are most electronegative elements located on periodic table?
Electronegativity is a characteristic property shared by ALL elements. Non-metals have the greatest (strongest force of electron attraction), and metals have the least (weak force of electron attraction)
Why is silicon considered a semi metal?
silicon is a mettaloid because it has both properties of metals and non-metals such as: it is a lusturous element like metals it is electronegative like non-metals it is used as a semi -conductor
Which element has the lowest ionization energy halogens metals non metals or noble gases?
Metals have the least ionization energy
