Does plutonium react with anything?
Plutonium can react with the majority of other nonmetals.
How do metals and nonmetals react?
this makes ionic bonding.
Why do nonmetal atoms form anions when they react to form compounds?
This happens when nonmetals react with metals. It is easier to gain 2 or 3 electrons than to lose 5 or 6 from their valence shell anion - negatively charged
What elements are likely to react with calcium?
Most of the nonmetals, particularly the halides.
Can you mixed Neptunium with elements?
Neptunium can react with the majority of other nonmetals.
What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of nonmetals do what with electrons?
Share
When nonmetals react with other nonmetals the atoms of the nonmetals?
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
Do nonmetals react?
Yes.
What happens to the atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other element's?
Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.

Something that can happen is they can gain, lose, or share four elements.
When nonmetals react with other nonmetal the atoms of the nonmetals?
The nonmetals share the atoms when reacting with each other.
What nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements?
Nonmetals that do not react naturally with other elements are inert. These nonmetals are called the noble gases and are in Group 18 (VIIIA) on the Periodic Table.
What is the different when nonmetals react with other nonmetals?
