What do nonmetals do to form ions?
they accept electrons lost by metals to become ions
What properties do metals generally share Nonmetals How does this relate to their location on the periodic table andor the type of ions they form?
Most are shiny.
Which type of reaction occurs when nonmetal atoms become negative nonmetals ions?
Reduction
What are a list of nonmetals properties?
Corrosion, React vigoriously with acids not bases, lose valence electrons to form ions when bonding, like to react with nonmetals.
What compounds do nonmetals form when they burn in oxygen?
Nonmetals burning in oxygen form covalent type compounds, as compared to metals which form ionic compounds.
What kind of ions do metals form and what kind of ions do nonmetals form?
Metals for positively charged ions and nonmetals form negatively charged ions.
What type of compound does not have cations or anions?
Compounds with covalent bonds form molecules not ions Compounds consisting of non-metals bonded to nonmetals do not form ions
What type of ion do the elements found in the valleys of the graph form?
We haven't seen your graph. However, it is easy to say what kinds of ions elements form. Metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
What do nonmetals do to form ions?
they accept electrons lost by metals to become ions
Do nonmetals lose electron when they form ions?
No. They gain electrons
What ions are formed in nonmetals?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.
What properties do metals generally share Nonmetals How does this relate to their location on the periodic table andor the type of ions they form?
Most are shiny.
What type of ions are formed by non-metals?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom tobecome negatively charged ions. (i.e. anion)You can visit igcsechem.webs.com (advanced) or ks3science.webs.com (basic) to learn more chemistry!
Of metals and nonmetals which tend to form positive ions?
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.
Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?
It is possible to make positive ions of nonmetals e.g. oxygen, chlorine, by putting enough energy into them. They normally form negative ions when in a spontaneous reaction.
Which type of reaction occurs when nonmetal atoms become negative nonmetals ions?
Reduction
What are a list of nonmetals properties?
Corrosion, React vigoriously with acids not bases, lose valence electrons to form ions when bonding, like to react with nonmetals.
