Which one is it?
Do nonmetals gain or lose electrons?:confused:

Non-metals are in group 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the periodic table. This means that they either have 4, 5, 6, or 7 (depending on which group they are in) electrons in their outer shell. All elements want to become stable and have a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
Do you think it would be easier for the atoms to lose or gain electrons to make a full outer shell? |
