Neptunium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of non metals.
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
During this type of reaction, the electrons would move from the metal to the non-metal. The transfer of electrons allows both material to maintain a full outer valence.

Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
Non-metals can react with metals to form ionic or covalent compounds. Mercury will react with most of the metals to form amalgams. Mixture of metals will lead to the formation of alloys.
Neptunium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of non metals.
These are the properties of metals and non metals: Metals: Have a tendency to donate free electrons. Displace hydrogen gas from dilute acids React with oxygen to produce basic oxides React with hydrogen to produce Hydrides Metals are solids Non-metals: Have a tendency to receive electrons. Non metals maybe solids,liquids or gases Non metals are not malleable Non metals are not ductile
Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.
Hydrogen is not a metal. It is a non-metal.
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Magnestism in neither a metal or a non metal. Although metals tend to be magnetic while non metals ten not to be
Atoms of non-metals generally react with atoms of metals by forming ionic compounds. This is achieved when non-metals gain electrons or a metal atom loses electrons.
