halogens, obviously!
these gain electrons the most easiest since they are "hyperactive" as I would like to say.

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 metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
What tend to lose electrons in order to become stable?
In chemistry, metals are the elements that tend to lose electrons when they react to form compounds; Non-metals tend to gain electrons when they form compounds. When metals and non-metals react and exchange electrons with one another they form an ionic bond.
Does group 13 elements lose or gain valence electrons?
It is going to lose electrons
Does group 2A elements lose or gain protons or electrons?
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
When transition elements react chemically they may lose electrons from which sublevel?
d

What does it mean to say that some elements are reactiveand form ions easily whereas others do not?
Basically when elements react they either gain or lose electrons until their outer shell has eight (apart from helium and hydrogen). When elements react and gain or lose electrons they become ions as the number of protons is no longer proportional to that of electrons. elements with a large or low amount of electrons (1 or 7) on their outer shell react easily E.g the alkali metals (group 1 of the periodic table) have only one electron and so must be preserved in oil or they will react with even the air in the atmosphere.

It is going to lose electrons
What elements gain 2 electrons when they combine with another element?
The elements that gain two electrons when they react are the ones found in group 14 of the periodic table. Oxygen is a good example of such elements.
Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Metals usually lose electrons, this is why many charges are positive.
Why do elements in group 18 rarely react with other elements?
Elements in Group 18 already have an octet of electrons, which is a full outer shell of 8 electrons. An octet of electrons makes the element stable, so it does not need to react with any other elements to gain or lose electrons.
What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
Which are the elements that do not ordinary form compounds?
The noble gases (group 18) will not react with other elements or atoms of the same element. This is because they have a full outer shell and do not "need" to borrow or lose electrons.
