They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
lose electrons and become positive ions
metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely
Non-ionized (stable) nonmetals, or metal ions.
nonmetals are located in the right side of the periodic table. The Ionization energy(the amount of energy used to remove an electron) tends to increase from left to right across a period.It is difficult to remove the electrons from the right side because they are becoming stable
No. Nonmetals will also combine with metals and metalloids

Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.

Nonmetals gain electrons.

No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.
• Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. • Metalloids: usually form covalent bonds with atoms of metals, nonmetals and other metalloids. They can easily take electrons from metals and lose electrons to nonmetals. They form because they want their valence shell to be full. Metals usually lose valence electrons because they want to stabilize their valence shell. Metalloids depends because they have different properties of metals and non metals.

Generally, metals and nonmetals combine to form ionic compounds, and nonmetals combine to form molecules.
