Do metals donate or accept electrons and what do they become?

Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.


Do nonmetal donate or accept electrons?

If a non-metal combines with a metal, then the metal will donate electrons and the non-metal will accept electrons. An ionic bond is the result to form an ionic compound. If the non-metal combines with another non-metal, then both will share the electrons resulting in the formation of a covalent bond between them. The molecule is known as covalent compound.


What happens to a electrons in a metallic bond?

An element tries to get the stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas. If a metal has 1 or 2 or 3 valent electrons, they donate these valent electrons to the non-metals which are deficient of 1 or 2 or 3 electrons. So the extra electron in metals get transferred to the outermost shell of the non metal.


What do metals become after the donate electrons?

Metal --> electrons + Metal ions (positively charged)


What happens when nonmetals and metals react?

metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal


What happens to the electrons of metals?

The electrons of metals are delocalized, meaning they are free to move throughout the solid structure. This is what allows metals to conduct electricity and heat efficiently.


When metals react with other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the the atoms?

== == When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals give up their valence electrons.


Of the metals Pb Hg Na and Mg which will not spontaneously donate electrons to copper in solution?

Lead (Pb) and Mercury (Hg) will not spontaneously donate electrons to copper in solution because they are lower in the reactivity series than copper. Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg) are more reactive than copper and could potentially donate electrons to copper in solution.


When metals react to the other elements what happens to the valence electrons of the metal Atoms?

Do metals receive electrons while forming their compounds?

Metals are more likely to donate electrons to form ionic compounds. However, some transition metals such as mercury and tin can form covalent bonds in which the metal shares an electron with another atom
