What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?

Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.


It can be formed by sharing electrons?

Covalent bonds are formed when non-metals share electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when metals and non-metals lose and gain electrons.


When non metals and metal react which atoms gain electrons?

Halogens, group 17 on the periodic table, typically gain or share one electron in covalent bonds


What happens with atoms of the metals when they react with other elements?

Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.


Chemical property of non metals?

Non metals are elements that are not metals such as iron, and silver. They usually have four to eight electrons in their outer shell, gain or share valence electrons easily and form oxides that are acidic.


Why metallic bond is not formed in non metals?

Non-metals do not typically form metallic bonds due to their electron configuration. Non-metals tend to gain or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, rather than lose electrons like metals. This leads to the formation of covalent or ionic bonds in non-metals, rather than metallic bonds.


When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?

Nonmetals gain electrons.


When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?

Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.


What does non metals gain?

to lose electrons


What happens when two or more atoms come together?

They fuse together.


Do elements in the non-metal family gain or lose electrons?
