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."

"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."

Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions?A.They hold on tightly to electrons.B.The positive ions that are formed when metals lose electrons are more reactive than the neutral metals.C.A metal atom loses its few valence electrons to form a full octet.D.They conduct electricity, which makes them lose their 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.

Neutral atoms belonging to the same element always have:

In your own words, explain how a metal atom joins with a non-metal atom to form an ionic bond.Use the words transfer, cation, anion and electrostatic attraction.
