Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Group 18 of the periodic table, or the inert / noble gases family because they are stable at 8 valence electrons and in result they tend to not react with other elements.
1
Elements react with other elements based on the number of electrons in their outer shell, also called valence electrons.
one valence electron
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Electrons doesn't react with sodium chloride.
nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react
Nonmetals gain electrons.
Group 18 of the periodic table, or the inert / noble gases family because they are stable at 8 valence electrons and in result they tend to not react with other elements.
When atoms react, electrons are shared or transferred.
yes

Oxygen.
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
Helium will not react with any other element.
