A Nonmetal.
when.... 1- a metal forms bond with metals. 2- a nonmetal with nonmetal nonmetal. 3- or atoms having electronegativities difference less than 1.7 (with exeption of HF having E.N diff. 1.9)...... or Jefferson lab says: when pairs of electrons are shared between two nonmetal atoms or when pairs of electrons are shared between two nonmetl atoms
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
They become anions, with negative electrical charge.
