What else can I help you with?
Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and form positively charged ions.
Do metals snap easily into smaller pieces?
No, metals do not snap easily into smaller pieces because they have high strength and ductility. When metals are subjected to stress, they tend to bend or deform rather than snap into smaller pieces.
What is the relationship between the positions of reacting metals in the periodic table?
The reactivity of metals generally decreases as you move from left to right across the periodic table. Metals on the left side of the periodic table tend to be more reactive because they have fewer electrons in their outer shell, making it easier for them to lose electrons and form positive ions. Conversely, metals on the right side of the periodic table tend to be less reactive because they have a full outer shell and are more stable.
Where do the elements in the human body tend to be located in the table?
metals
Of metals and nonmetals which tend to form positive ions?
The metals and non metals which tend to form positive ions are cations. It is because of their electronic configuration.
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
Explain why are alloys a useful improvement over pure metals?
Alloys are useful improvement over pure metals because they tend to be stronger.
What do metals tend to do?
they tend to be very good conductors
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals blank electrons?
When metals react with other elements, the atoms of the metals tend to lose electrons. This is because metals have few electrons in their outermost shell and losing those electrons allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Are metals positive or negative ions?
Metals are positive ions. Everything on the left side of the periodic table is. Basically every element that has 4 valence electrons or less is a positive ion.
Why do non-metals tend to gain electrons instead of losing them?
Non-metals tend to gain electrons instead of losing them because they have higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger attraction for electrons. This allows them to easily gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Do Metals tend to have higher electronegative than nonmetals and therefore tend to form anions?
No. Metals generally have lower electronegativity and form cations.
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration and form positively charged ions.
Do metals tend to have higher energy valence orbitals than non-metals?
Yes, metals tend to have lower energy valence orbitals compared to non-metals. This is due to the presence of loosely held electrons in the outermost shell of metals, allowing them to easily lose electrons and form positive ions compared to non-metals which tend to gain electrons to complete their outer shell configuration.
Do metals snap easily into smaller pieces?
No, metals do not snap easily into smaller pieces because they have high strength and ductility. When metals are subjected to stress, they tend to bend or deform rather than snap into smaller pieces.
Metals tend to form?
Metal oxides which are bases
