greater conductivity and higher melting points
than nonmetals. Or D, because your looking at the STAR review packet. :)

Can nonmetals gain electrons to fill their valence shells?
Yes, nonmetals generally gain electrons to fill valence shells.
The valence electrons found in metals are different from nonmetals because .?
metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely
What ions are formed in nonmetals?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.
How many valence electrons are there in the sulfite ion?
8 because sulfur has 6 valence electrons and when it becomes sulfide it gains two electrons making it 6+2=8.
Generally a complete valence shell holds how many electrons.?
Generally, a compete valence shell holds EIGHT electrons.
Can nonmetals gain electrons to fill their valence shells?
Yes, nonmetals generally gain electrons to fill valence shells.
Do all nonmetals have a completelyfull Valence shell of electrons?
There is no set amount of valence electrons for nonmetals. The amount of valence electrons a nonmetal has is determined by the number of electrons on the outer shell of the atom.
The valence electrons found in metals are different from nonmetals because .?
metals can conduct electricity, the valence electrons of nonmetals cannot roam freely
What will a non-metal do with its valence electrons?
Nonmetals attract electrons.
What ions are formed in nonmetals?
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.
What group is mostly nonmetals and has 7 valence electrons?
Halogens.
Which element is most likely to gain electrons when bonds are formed?
Nonmetals because they have a lot of valence electrons.
Do nonmetals share valence electrons?
Yes, they share them in a covalent bond.
How valence electrons can atoms of nonmetals have?
always more than 4
How many valence electrons can atom of nonmetals have?
always more than 4
What time describes the most reactive nonmetals that have seven valence electrons?
Halogens
What term describes the reactive nonmetals that have seven valence electrons?
alkali earth metals
