What is the rule for the activity trends of metals and nonmetals?

Metals: the farther to the left the more reactive they are. Group 1 metals, which include sodium and potassium, are so highly reactive that they do not exist in nature by themselves (only in compound form.)
Non-metals: the farther to the right the more reactive they are *with the exception of group 18* which are the noble gases and do not react at all. The most reactive are group 17, which include fluorine and chlorine. These non-metals, like group 1, rarely exist by themselves because of their high reactivity.

Where can you find metals nonmetals and noble gases on the periodic table?
metalloids are the seven elements on the "staircase"(bold line located in the middle of the table) they are B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, At. all metals are found on the left side of the "staircase" all non metals are found on the right side of the "staircase" exception to the rule: hydrogen, it is a non metal
Which is more stable non metals or metals?
There is no rule about this. Gold is a very stable metal, and neon is a very stable non-metal.
Do metals generally form anions?
NoMetals are found on the left side of the periodic table, so they need to lose electrons to be like the noble gases and satisfy the octet rule. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positive, because electrons are negative.As for knowing whether an anion is positive or negative, you just have to memorize the fact that cations are positive and anions are negative.
Which rule for the reaction of a metal with oxides of other metals?
Metals placed high in the reactivity series will reduce the oxides of those lower in the series.
How do metals obey the Lewis octet rule?
The elements can be described by dot structure. Metals combine with other elements to make its octet complete.
What is the rule used for naming binary compounds composed of nonmetals bonded to other nonmetals?
Newtons third law
Would bromine and oxygen form an ionic compound?
No. Both oxygen and bronie are nonmetals. As a general rule, nonmetals will form covalent bonds with one another.

Do Cu plus and Cu2 plus plus violate the octet rule?
The octet rule does not apply to transition metals.
Which is more stable non metals or metals?
There is no rule about this. Gold is a very stable metal, and neon is a very stable non-metal.
What is a Non-evolutionary Trends?
Misidentification of Cope's Rule - Functional or Physical Boundaries - Signor-Lipps Effect
How do metals obey the rule octet?
most metals do not follow the octet rule. when an atom has access to the D orbitals it usually follows the 18-electron rule (transition metals). non transition or F block elements usually contain a d orbital (when present) that is below the s and p orbitals in energy and do not usually use D electrons in bonding.
Do managers do more than just to rule their staff?
Yes, managers do more than rule over their staff. They are responsible for reporting trends and researching how to motivate their employees.

Does AmH3 obeys the octect rule?
No, Transition metals do not obey the octet rule in simple compounds , Am is an 'f' block transition metal.
