An element tries to get the stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas. If a metal has 1 or 2 or 3 valent electrons, they donate these valent electrons to the non-metals which are deficient of 1 or 2 or 3 electrons. So the extra electron in metals get transferred to the outermost shell of the non metal.

∙ 11y agoIn ionic bonding the electrons are localised to their respective ions rather than being shared. This gives rise to an electrostatic charge on the ions. Positively charged ions, cations, have a fewer electrons than protons. Negatively charged ions have more electrons than protons) The attraction between these oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.

Why the metals behave the way they behave?
Alkali metals are all of the elements on the far left hand side of the periodic table with the exception of hydrogen. They are all highly reactive metals that also react vigorously with water.
An electron model is a good approximation of?
how electrons behave in their orbitals
If Compared to metals and nonmetals how do atoms of semimetals behave when combining with elements of other elements?
They can either lose or share electrons when they combine with other elements. So, depending on the conditions , these elements can behave as either metals or nonmetalss. Durr !
Why does sodium metal and sodium chloride behave different?
Sodium chloride contains sodium ions, not metallic sodium. Hence they show different chemical properties and behaviour.
Why do elements in a group all behave similarly?
Elements in the same group behave similarly because they all have the same number of electrons in their outer-most orbits. These electrons are what determines the types of bonds and chemical reactions the atom can undergo.
Compare the three types of bonds based on what happens to the valence electrons of the atoms?
In covalent bonding the valence electrons are shared across the orbitals, in ionic bonding the electrons move from one atom's orbital to another. In metallic bonding the valence electrons are delocalised and free to move within the lattice.
Can you make the hydrogen a metal?
Yes. Although hydrogen is a non-metal, there is metallic hydrogen. It is formed when hydrogen is sufficiently compressed and undergoes a phase change; it is an example of degenerate matter. Solid metallic hydrogen consists of a crystal lattice of protons with a spacing which is significantly smaller than a Bohr radius. Indeed, the spacing is more comparable with an electron wavelength. The electrons are unbound and behave like the conduction electrons in a metal. As is the dihydrogen molecule H2, metallic hydrogen is an allotrope. In liquid metallic hydrogen, protons do not have lattice ordering.
Electrons behave like what?
Electrons behave like waves and particles this is characterised by the wave side in the Bohr model and can be diffracted yet it will collide with other particles.
How substances behave according to kinetic theory?
i think its behaviour depends upon bonding and temperature.
Why the metals behave the way they behave?
Alkali metals are all of the elements on the far left hand side of the periodic table with the exception of hydrogen. They are all highly reactive metals that also react vigorously with water.
How do valence electrons of atoms behave when forming an ionic bond?
Electrons are transferred when ionic bonds are formed.
Why do electrons behave like magnets?
Electrons move in orbit and thus produce a magnetic field like a electromagnet.
An electron model is a good approximation of?
how electrons behave in their orbitals
Why do electrons behave like tiny magnets?
a spinning electron produces a magnetic field that makes the electron behave like a tiny magnet
How do electrons behave in a conductor when no voltage is applied?
when no electricity flow then chare are in condition of static
How do electrical charges behave?
Electric charges behave as a matter and it contains three building blocks of matter, they are :electrons, protons and neutrons of which two are electrically charge
