When non metals are most active they can do what?
easily gain electrons
Why are metals not very good at forming covalent bonds?
Because it tends to give up electrons easily.
What alkali metals give off the most electrons?
all alkali metals give off only one electrons. However cesium will give off electron easily. (Francium is not considered generally as it is radioactive with very short half life period).
Why do you need to wires to carry current?
Conducting materials readily give and receive electrons from one atom to another. Electric current is actually the flow of electrons, so if it's difficult for the electrons to move, there will little or no current flow.
What types of atoms easily lose electrons?
These with a positive charge.
What kinds objects give up electrons easily?
Carpets and balloons both give up electrons easily.
When non metals are most active they can do what?
easily gain electrons
Does Francium give away electrons easily or hold on to them tightly?
As an element of Alkali metals family, It will give away its electrons very easily to produce monovalent Fr+ ion
What elements easily give up electrons?
Metals, particularly the alkali metals- lithium, sodium, potassium, etc
What are the metals called in groups 3-12 that do not give away their electrons as easily as atoms of groups 1 and 2?
those metals are called transition metals
What kinds of object give up electrons easily?
Carpets and balloons both give up electrons easily.
Why does valence electron give up outermost energy easily?
The force of attraction between the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons are the least. Hence valence electrons are lost easily.
What name do you give to materials that let eletricity pass through them easily And why?
The material is conductive. Metals (copper or aluminum, etc) allows charged particles of electrons to move freely in either direction along their length.
Where are strong electron doners on the table?
Metals are strong electron donors. They easily give their valence electrons.
Why are metals not very good at forming covalent bonds?
Because it tends to give up electrons easily.
What alkali metals give off the most electrons?
all alkali metals give off only one electrons. However cesium will give off electron easily. (Francium is not considered generally as it is radioactive with very short half life period).
What a insulator?
An insulator is something that keeps heat in, for example, if you put a piece of fake fur around a mug of Hot Chocolate, it would act as an insulator, and would keep the heat in the mug. x if u eant insulator..then it means a poor heat conducto, or poor conductor of electricity ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Materials that do not easily give up or take on electrons are called insulators.
