the elements which have a high electronegativity (F has the highest) and electron affinity (Cl) attract electrons very powerfully.

Do non-metals gain electrons in chemical reactions?
during a chemical reaction valence electrons are most always transferred
Do a family of elements share the same number of valence electrons?
Yes they do. Groups/Families tell the number of valence electrons (the number of electrons in the outermost energy level).
How many additional electrons is an oxygen atom able to attract?
oxygen is able to attract 2 electrons
What happens to the electrons when an object is magnetized?
the electrons attract
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What elements typically attract electrons?
+ include the halogens + are non metals
What elements on the periodic table attract electrons?
Non-metals, especially group 17 and group 16 elements.
Which elements tend to attract electrons to become negative ions?
Nonmetals tend to attract electrons to become negative ions.
What elements has the greatest ability to attract electrons Li Be Mg or Na?
FluorineNitrogen (N)
The number of electrons determines what of an element?
The number of loosely held electrons determines the reactivity of an element. Other elements attract electrons and will react also.
Do elements typically give up electrons because they have a low ionization energy?
no
What elements bromine barium beryllium or boron has the greatest tendency to attract electrons?
Barium because this is have a greatest tendency.
Why the elements of group 14 are most electronegative elemenets?
There is no Group 14. The elements of the group 7A are the most electronegative. Basically, electronegativity is the ability to attract electrons. Group 7A elements, or halogens, need just one more electron to reach stability, and are very reactive. So, they can easily accept that electron. In other words, their ability to attract electrons is the highest.
Why protons does not attract electrons?
Protons do attract electrons due to the electromagnetic force.
What elements that's typically gives up electrons?
The elements that typically give up electrons are the ones which have the lowest ionization energy. The valence electron which holds on loosely will be the one to be given out easily.
What property of nonmetalic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than lose electrons?
They have a higher electronegativity than metals. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons to itself.
Do non-metals gain electrons in chemical reactions?
during a chemical reaction valence electrons are most always transferred
