What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
How many electrons must be gained by chlorine to achieve sec?
Chlorine gain an electron in chemical reactions.
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
Do nonmetals only lose electrons?
No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.
Do nonmetals loses electrons?
No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.
Nonmetals during a chemical combinations tend to do what?
Non-metals during a chemical combinations tend to gain electrons. Metals in chemical reactions will tend to lose their electrons easily.
Why is metal a element?
Nonmetals have properties opposite those of themetals. The nonmetals are brittle, not malleable or ductile, poor conductors of both heat and electricity, and tend to gain electrons in chemical reactions. Some nonmetals are liquids. These elements are shown in the following figure.
Can nonmetals gain electrons to fill their valence shells?
Yes, nonmetals generally gain electrons to fill valence shells.
Oxidation and reduction reactions are chemical processes that result in a gain or loss in?
ELECTRONS
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Why do nonmetal atoms form anions when they react to form compounds?
This happens when nonmetals react with metals. It is easier to gain 2 or 3 electrons than to lose 5 or 6 from their valence shell anion - negatively charged
Which elements do you expect to lose electrons in their chemical reactions Which do you expect to gain electrons Al Sn Br Se?
I would expect the metals potassium, barium, and copper to lose electrons during chemical reactions. I would expect the nonmetals fluorine and sulfur to gain or share electrons depending of the chemical reaction.
Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?
Non-metals gain electrons.
The atoms of which elements tend to gain electrons?
Non-ionized (stable) nonmetals, or metal ions.
