What does a non metal element need to do to form an anion?
Same as a metal. It need to gain/lose electrons intill it has a full outer shell.
How do sodium silicon and sulfur differ from another?
Sodium is an alkali metal with 1 very reactive electron in its outer shell, it tends to form ionic bonds. Silicon is a semiconductor/pseudo-organic with 4 electrons in its outer shell, it tends to form covalent bonds. Sulfur is a non-metal with 6 electrons in its outer shell, it tends to like to borrow other atoms electrons but also forms covalent bonds.
Is krypton a metal non metal or a metaloid?
krypton is a nonmetal
If an element has a total of 86 electrons is it inert reactive or non reactive?
This is radon, it has a full outer shell of electrons, so it is technically non reactive
How many outer shell electros do nonmetals have?
The outermost shell of any noble gas is completely filled. And because of this, we can say that they have 8 electrons in their outer shells, with the exception of helium, which has 2 electrons in its outer shell.
How is covalent bounds different from ionic bounds?
covalent bonds are when NON METALS share their electrons to get a full outer shell where ionic bonds are when a METAL and a NON METAL "give" each other electrons so they have a full outer shell.
How many outer shell electrons does copper have?
Copper is a non metal element. There are 29 electrons in a single atom.
How many electrons does a carbon ion have?
Carbon, as a non-metal wants to gain electrons to have 8 outer shell electrons. In its outer shell, carbon has 4 electrons. Therefore, a carbon ion picks up 4 electrons to become C-4
An atom of element X has two outer electrons that do not fill the outer shell is it a metal?
It would be a non-metal and a halogen. Group 18 or the noble gases, all have 8 electrons in their outer shell. Therefore, the group before it would have seven electrons in the outer shell. This group is made up of all non-metals.
What does a non metal element need to do to form an anion?
Same as a metal. It need to gain/lose electrons intill it has a full outer shell.
What are electrons that get borrowed or stolen called?
Outer electrons are the electrons that are borrowed or stolen in a reaction. Because a non-metal has a negative oxidation number, it will borrow electrons from a metal to complete its outer shell. Metals have positive oxidation numbers and tend to lose electrons in reactions.
How many electrons will a non metal generally have in its outer shell?
non-metals have between 3 and 8 electrons in the outer shell. You can tell how many they have by looking at which period they're in on the periodic table, period 13 elements have 3, period 15 elements have 5 ect.
Is niobium metal nonmetal or metalloid?
Niobium (symbol Nb) is a metal. It belongs to d-block elements or transition metals.
What are the electrons when metal atom and non metal atom react?
When a metal reacts with a non-metal, the electrons move from the metal to the non-metal. This is because the metal can achieve valence when it loses the electrons in its outer shell. The non-metal can also achieve full valence by gaining the electron in its outer shell.
How do sodium silicon and sulfur differ from another?
Sodium is an alkali metal with 1 very reactive electron in its outer shell, it tends to form ionic bonds. Silicon is a semiconductor/pseudo-organic with 4 electrons in its outer shell, it tends to form covalent bonds. Sulfur is a non-metal with 6 electrons in its outer shell, it tends to like to borrow other atoms electrons but also forms covalent bonds.
What is the metal AND non metal?
The differences between metal and non-metals are their chemical properties. Metals usually have 1-3 electrons on their outer shells, and non metals have 4-8 electrons in their outer shells.
What will form in an ionic bond?
An ionic bond will form between a metal and a non-metal. This occurs because an atom's only goal is to fill its valence shell, the outer shell. The non-metal's nucleus is strong enough to pull the metal's valence electrons away, and and metal cannot stop the pull of the non-metals nucleus. And that way, both atoms have their valence shell filled.
