the elements which have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their valence (outermost)shells are most likely to lose electrons compared to the other ones and we name them as metals and alkaline earth metals. these elements want to give their outermost shell electrons to become more stable. because when they give those electrons the next shell under this one which has 8 electrons (2 in some cases such as lithium) becomes the new valence shell so the electron configuration resembles a noble gas.
What else can I help you with?
Describe two ways that nonmetals can combine with other elements?
Nonmetals become stable by gaining or sharing enough valence electrons to have a set of eight valence electrons in a shell or energy level
What elements are least likely to react with other element?
Nobel gasses.
What causes a compound to be formed from elements?
Every element that isn't a noble gas, wants to become isoelectronic or have the same number of electrons as its nearest noble gas. This is because noble gases are very stable, while other elements aren't. Forming compounds allows elements to gain or lose electrons, which allows them to become like their nearest noble gas.
Which period has the greatest tendency to gain electrons?
The periods near the top, i presume because they have less shielding from other electrons in their orbitals, therefore there will be a larger nuclear pull so easier to attract electrons. Obviously a element with a full shell or 1 or 2 electrons in it isn't really going to gain electrons and Transition metals are weird. Hope this helps :)
How many electrons will be gained or lost in carbon?
Carbon is the "utility player" of chemistry, and can bond in many different ways with other elements. It generally shares electrons covalently with other non-metals, usually hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It doesn't typically lose or gain them (but can in certain situations.)
An element that gains electrons when combining with other elements is a?
A metalloid :)
When combining with other elements transition metals tend to do what with electrons?
lose
What shows an element's combining ability?
An element's combining ability is determined by its valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost energy level. Elements with few valence electrons tend to lose or share electrons in chemical reactions, while elements with many valence electrons tend to gain or share electrons. This behavior allows elements to form chemical bonds and combine with other elements to achieve a more stable electron configuration.
What is formed by the combining of elements or other compounds through chemical reactions?
A compound is formed by the combining of elements or other compounds through chemical reactions. Compounds are made up of molecules that contain two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. These chemical bonds are formed by the sharing or transfer of electrons between atoms.
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
What does the name Jaaliyah mean?
Jaaliyah is a modern invented name with no specific meaning. It is likely derived from combining sounds or elements from other names.
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 !
How do interact with each other?
By combining or mixing elements
What is the periodic trends of combining power?
Combining power generally increases across a period and decreases down a group on the periodic table. This trend is influenced by the number of valence electrons and the effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons in an atom. Atoms with higher combining power tend to be more reactive in forming bonds with other elements.
Elements least likely to react with other elements are in this column are known as?
noble gases, or inert gases they are the same thing and they are group 18 they have full valence electrons so they are unlikely to react with other elements
What do argon electrons do when argon forms a chemical bond?
they share electrons with the other atom they're combining with
What element is combined in oxidation?
In oxidation, an element loses electrons, typically becoming more positively charged. This process often involves oxygen combining with other elements to form oxides.
