Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
What else can I help you with?
When non metals and metal react which atoms gain electrons?
Halogens, group 17 on the periodic table, typically gain or share one electron in covalent bonds
What happens to group one elements when they react with non metals?
Generally ionic compounds are formed.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
Why non -metals do not react with water?
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
What happens with atoms of the metals when they react with other elements?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals gain electrons.
What happens when non metals react with metals?
they form a salt
What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
When non metals and metal react which atoms gain electrons?
Halogens, group 17 on the periodic table, typically gain or share one electron in covalent bonds
When atoms of nonmetallic elements react with one another they tend to seek stability by?
Atoms of non-metals generally react with atoms of metals by forming ionic compounds. This is achieved when non-metals gain electrons or a metal atom loses electrons.
What happens to group one elements when they react with non metals?
Generally ionic compounds are formed.
What happens to atoms of most nonmetals when they react with other elements?
They tend to gain electrons when reacting with a metal. Metals generally are short of a full octet by 1 to 4 valence electrons. It is easier to drop 2 electrons than try to gain 6 electrons. The elements in group four can go either way, but the other metals will give up electrons, and non-metals will take them.
What two elements are likely to react together?
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.
When nonmetals and metals react which atom electrons?
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
What happens when non metal reacting with water?
neutral Depends on the nonmetal. Fluorine reacts differentpy from boron.
When metals and non metals react whichs atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
