they gain electrons because they need an electron to fill there outer most shell to make it stable !!!
Nonmetals have high electronegativity (Ability to attract electrons) so they attract more electrons then lower electronegativity elements.
Nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react, rather than lose them. This is because they have fewer electrons in their outer shell and they have a higher tendency to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Most metals and nonmetals form chemical bonds by transferring electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with a filled outer shell, usually with 8 electrons. This transfer of electrons leads to the formation of ionic bonds between metals and nonmetals.
Nonmetals seek to gain electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell and attain stability through a full octet. This process allows nonmetals to achieve a more stable electron configuration by filling their outer electron shell and forming negative ions.
Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer shell and bromine has seven in its outer shell.
Boron has three electrons in its outer shell

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.
Nonmetals are closer to a full outer shell. They would rather gain electrons to complete the shell. They are unlikely to lose electrons.

The outermost shell of any noble gas is completely filled. And because of this, we can say that they have 8 electrons in their outer shells, with the exception of helium, which has 2 electrons in its outer shell.
Nitrogen has five electrons in its outer shell and bromine has seven in its outer shell.
Metalloids do not have a complete outer shell, as they have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals. They typically have three, five, or six electrons in their outer shell, which gives them characteristics of both metal and nonmetal elements.
Boron has three electrons in its outer shell
Vanadium has on the outer shell two electrons.
No, atoms with more than four outer electrons are generally not classified as metals. Instead, they tend to be nonmetals or metalloids. Metals typically have fewer than four electrons in their outer shell and tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas nonmetals usually gain or share electrons. The classification of elements as metals or nonmetals is primarily based on their position in the periodic table.
No, helium has 2 electrons in its outer shell, while magnesium has 2 electrons in its outer shell. So, they do not have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell.
