Question
Non-metals have a tendency to accept _____ to form negative ions.
- Nucleons
- Neutron
- Electron
- Proton
Hint:
Electron
The correct answer is: Electron
Electrons are negatively charged particles.
In a normal atom, the number of protons and electrons are the same hence, an atom carries no charge. On accepting electrons, non metallic ions carry more electrons than protons. This imparts a net negative charge to the ion. Non metals have more tendency to gain the electrons as they have more electronegativity. Hence, they have a tendency to accept electrons to form negative ions.
