Question

How do bonds tend to form between metals and nonmetals?

  1. Atoms gain or lose electrons
  2. Atoms share electrons
  3. Atoms gain or lose neutrons
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

Metals tend to lose electrons and non metals tend to gain.

The correct answer is: Atoms gain or lose electrons


    • Metals are placed in the left side of the periodic table and tend to lose electrons.
    • Non metals are placed in the right side of the periodic table and tend to gain electrons.
    • Atoms gain or lose electrons to form between metals and nonmetals.

    In NaCl, Na is a metal and Cl is a non metal.
