Nonmetals are groups 13-18, with the exception of Hydrogen. Groups 13-18 are all p block elements, meaning they fill or partially fill the p suborbital. In order to fill the p orbital the s orbital has to be filled, which requires two valence electrons.
So, for nonmetals they have anywhere from 3-8 valence electrons depending on what group they're in (2 + number corresponding to group). Group 13 has 3(2+1), group 14 has 4(2+2), etc.
Hydrogen is an exception and has 1 electron, which is it's valence elctron that goes in the 1s orbital.
What else can I help you with?
When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
If metals loose electrons to non metals are metals now anions?
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Why do non metals gain electrons from metals?
Non-metals gain electrons from metals because non-metals have a higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger pull on electrons. Metals tend to lose electrons easily due to their low electronegativity, making them more likely to transfer electrons to non-metals in ionic bonding to achieve stable electron configurations.
What are the 2 groups that divide the periodic table and their properties?
Metals and non-metals are the two groups. Metal loose electrons. Non metals gain electrons.
How many electrons do poor metals have in there outer shell?
poor metals have four, five, six..... electrons in its outermost shells these poor metals are also known as non-metals.
When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
Explain why metals react with non-metals.?
Metals react with non-metals to achieve a stable electron configuration. Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full outer shell, while non-metals tend to gain electrons to fill their outer shell. This transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals results in the formation of ionic compounds.
It can be formed by sharing electrons?
Covalent bonds are formed when non-metals share electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when metals and non-metals lose and gain electrons.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Do metals take electrons or give electrons to the atoms they bond with?
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
If metals loose electrons to non metals are metals now anions?
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
How many valence electron can atoms of non metals have?
Non-metals have 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 valence electrons, respectively.
Why do non metals gain electrons from metals?
Non-metals gain electrons from metals because non-metals have a higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger pull on electrons. Metals tend to lose electrons easily due to their low electronegativity, making them more likely to transfer electrons to non-metals in ionic bonding to achieve stable electron configurations.

When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals gain electrons.
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
