nonmetals are located in the right side of the Periodic Table. The Ionization energy(the amount of energy used to remove an electron) tends to increase from left to right across a period.It is difficult to remove the electrons from the right side because they are becoming stable

When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?

Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.


Metals combine easily with nonmetals?

Metals and nonmetals combine easily because of the difference in their electron arrangements. Metals lose electrons easily, while nonmetals gain electrons readily to achieve a stable electron configuration. This transfer of electrons allows them to form ionic bonds, resulting in the formation of compounds.


When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?

Nonmetals gain electrons.


Do nonmetals loses electrons?

No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.


Which atoms that gain or lose an electron?

For example metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.


The atoms of which elements tend to gain electrons?

Non-ionized (stable) nonmetals, or metal ions.


What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?

Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.


Which reactive element will gain or loses an electron?

Generally metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.


Are metals always gaining electrons when they react?

nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react


When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?

Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.


Chemical property of non metals?

Non metals are elements that are not metals such as iron, and silver. They usually have four to eight electrons in their outer shell, gain or share valence electrons easily and form oxides that are acidic.


Use ionization energy to explain why metals lose electrons more easily than nonmetals?

Metals lose electrons more easily than the non-metals because they require less ionization energy compared with the non-metals. The metals require less ionization energy to lose the electrons than though gain the electrons unlike the non-metals.
