"Elements tend to in ways that help them achieve a full electron shell, leading to stability. The of an element gives us clues about how and with which other elements it might form . Metals will electrons, non-metals can or share electrons."

As you look at the image showing the transformation of a neutral atom into ions, complete the following sentences based on the concept of valency and electron transfer:"Elements tend to in ways that help them achieve a full electron shell, leading to stability. The of an element gives us clues about how and with which other elements it might form . Metals will electrons, non-metals can or share electrons."

In a  bond, two or more nonmetals share a pair of   so that each element has a full valence shell. When a metal  one or more electrons and a nonmetal  those electrons, two -charged ions are formed which then bond to each other with an  bond. A  bond occurs between the atoms of a single metal element in which the metal's nuclei are surrounded by a "sea" of delocalized (free-moving) electrons. This type of bond is the structural reason for why metals have the property of being ​​​​​​​ of heat and electricity.

Elements belonging to the same group have similar properties becauseThey have a similar electronic configuration of the outermost shellTheir atomic numbers go on increasing as we move down the groupAll of them are metallic elementsNone of the above
