When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
What metals react with other metals what happens to the valence electrons of the metal atoms?
== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.
When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals gain electrons.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
What happens to atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.

What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
Are metals always gaining electrons when they react?
nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react
Why do nonmetal atoms form anions when they react to form compounds?
This happens when nonmetals react with metals. It is easier to gain 2 or 3 electrons than to lose 5 or 6 from their valence shell anion - negatively charged
