Nonmetals typically react with both metals and other nonmetals. When reacting with metals, nonmetals can gain electrons to form negative ions, as seen in halogens reacting with alkali metals. In reactions with other nonmetals, they may share electrons to form covalent bonds, such as in the formation of molecules like water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Additionally, nonmetals can participate in oxidation-reduction reactions, where they may either gain or share 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.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Why non -metals do not react with water?
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
What elements react with neptunium?
Neptunium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of non metals.
What elements react the best with the alkali metals?
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.

Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
What two elements are likely to react together?
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.

metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals gain electrons.

they form a salt

What is formed when non metals react with oxygen?
Non-metals typically form oxides when they react with oxygen. The resulting compounds are often acidic in nature.
Do non metals react with water?
Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.
What elements react with neptunium?
Neptunium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of non metals.
What can uranium react with?
Uranium can react with the majority of non-metals (excepting noble gases); uraniun can form alloys with all metals.
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.
