What is a active metal?
An active metal is a type of a metal that tends to react with toughness, and speed, to other elements because of the arrangement of electrons in its structure. Each active metal has a single electron in its outer shell.
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
What type of element tends to lose electrons?
Metals
What is the number of valence electrons in group IA?
The most electrons an outer shell for group IA metals can have is 2 because IA metals are of the s energy level the max they can hold in an orbital is 2 electrons.
How many valence electrons does oxygen gain?
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6

Why are metals not very good at forming covalent bonds?
Because it tends to give up electrons easily.
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
What type of element tends to lose electrons?
Metals
What tends to take on electrons in order to become stable?
Nonmetals
When more valence electrons of metal are shared it's melting point tends to be?
it melting point tends to be higher
Does a metal gain or lose an electron when it reacts with a nonmetal?
The metal tends to lose the electron because it has a higher electron affinity, and the nonmetal tends to gain the electron because it has a higher electronegativity. This has to do with the placement of the element on the periodic table. The further to the right you go, the more the element wants to gain electrons in an ionic compound.
What it tends to happen if sulfur combines with magnesium?
it will lose six electrons.
Does nitrogen give or take electrons?
Nitrogen is a nonmetal with 5 valance electrons, which tends to receive three electrons to complete it outer electron shell.
A noble gas such as helium tends not to form compounds with other elements because its outer energy level is missing two electrons true or false?
FALSE.
What type of element tends to lose electrons which form bonds?
Non-metals
