A non-metal gains electrons to form anions. What do you mean by this statement? |
|
Answer» Non-metals typically have larger sizes as compared to the metals because of which to attain a stable noble gas configuration, it is difficult for a non-metal to lose electrons and on the other hand they can easily accept electrons with less energy involved to fill the octet. Hence non-metals gain electrons to form anions. |
