When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
Which type of elements gain electrons when they form bonds?
It is done by Non-metals and metalloids.They form anions
What groups of elements are more likely to steal electrons?
Non metals are likely to steal electron. They form anions.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
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.
When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?

What kind of atoms gain electrons?
Generally non-metals gain electrons and form anions.
Which type of elements gain electrons when they form bonds?

What groups of elements are more likely to steal electrons?
Non metals are likely to steal electron. They form anions.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Are non metals cation or anion?
Non metals tend to form Anions as they gain electron(s). This occurs normally and usually naturally. There are cases where nonmetals can become Cations as well but it would take a lot of energy to take away an electron from the valence shell. (Refer to Ionization Energy)
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.
Why do atoms of non-metals form anions?
Non metals tend to be at the Right Hand Side of the periodic table. They therefore tend to need to GAIN electrons to get a stable octet-noble gas configuration. Gaining electrons mean they become anions. The reverse is true for metals.
Why do atoms of nonmetals form anions while atoms of metals form cations?
Metals lose electrons in bonding whilst non-metals gain electrons during ionic bonding hence metals for cations and non-metals form anions. It is difficult for a non metal such as oxygen to lose 6 electrons to form a cation since it would need a lot of energy. When it comes to metals it is also difficult to gain that much elecrons since as electrons are added the effective nuclear charge increases each time.
Which family of elements in the Periodic Table form bonds by gaining electrons?
Non metals form bonds by gaining electrons. They form anions.
What kind element forms anion after ionic bonding?
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
What kind of element metal or nonmetal can form an anion?
Non-metals gain electrons. Hence, they can easily form anions.
