Yes. Metals always lose electrons and non-metals gain electrons.

Note, the whole left AND bottom portions of the Periodic Table are metals.

Among the elements potassium lithium and iron the metallic bonds are likely to be strongest in?
Iron is the most metallic in nature among these three. Therefore, it has the most strongest metallic bonds
How do you tell if a mineral is metallic or non-metallic?
only non metals are acidic, covalent bonding only occurs between nonmetals, metallic bonding between metals. If it is shiny it is most likely a metal except unless it is a diamond or silicon. Also you can tell on the periodic table
What are the rings around the potassium diagram?
It depends which diagram, most likely they are electron shells as all elements have
Are magnesium and chlorine most likely to form a metallic bond?
No. They will most likely form an ionic bond. Metallic bonds form between the atoms of a metal, such as gold or iron.
What is the most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state?
The most likely electron configuration for a sodium ion in its ground state is 1s22s22p63s1.
What compound is likely to contain ionic bonds?
Compounds that contain a metallic element(cation) bonded to a nonmetallic element(anion), or any compounds containing polyatomic ions would be held together by an electrostatic attraction called an ionic bond. These are formed when the metallic element donates one or more electrons to a nonmetallic element creating an uneven distribution of electrons and protons within the elements called ions. Atoms are even distributions of electrons and protons within elements. Ions are then created to achieve a level of stability within each element's nobel gas electron configuration.
Which elements are likely to lose electron?
Group I elements (that is alkali metals)
What is likely to have the strongest metallic bond?
Elements in the d-block usually form metallic bonds with high strength.
What property of nonmetallic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than to lose electrons?
They have relatively full valence shells.
What 3 elements that are likely to donate 1 valence electron?
Elements in the 1st group have 1 valence electron. So they are likely to donate 1 electron to get more stable. potassium, rubidium and cesium are likely to donate 1 electron.
An element that is likely to combine with other elements to form new substances is said to be?
metallic
Among the elements potassium lithium and iron the metallic bonds are likely to be strongest in?
Iron is the most metallic in nature among these three. Therefore, it has the most strongest metallic bonds
What family of elements contains elements most likely to gain an electron in chemical reaction?
Nonmetals, expecially halogens.
What elements will most likely give up a single electron to bromine?
The group 1 elements, which are the alkali metals.
Is k more likely to form a compound with li or br?
Both Li and K lose electrons to get noble gas configuration. Br gains an electron to get noble gas configuration. So K is more likely to form a compound with Br.Potassium is a metal in group 1. It usually forms ionic compounds with other non metallic elements. From these elements, it is more likely to bond with bromine. Recall that lithium is as in the same family as potassium.
How do you tell if a mineral is metallic or non-metallic?
only non metals are acidic, covalent bonding only occurs between nonmetals, metallic bonding between metals. If it is shiny it is most likely a metal except unless it is a diamond or silicon. Also you can tell on the periodic table
What property of nonmetallic elements makes them more likely to gain electrons than lose them?
High Electonegativity of non metals makes them more likely to gain electrons.
