When non metals form ions what ions do they tend to form?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]4 years ago
3 0
Non-metals have a larger number of outer electrons called valence electrons. Therefore, it is easier for them to "steal" valance electrons from other elements with fewer valence electrons(usually metals) 

For example, Chlorine(Cl) has 7 ve-. When forming an ion it will steal one electron from a metal. and gain a charge of -1. Because the ion is NEGATIVELY charged, it will be called an anion. 

Nonmetals form anions.

Vocab:
cation: 
Paws-itively charged ions (get it? because its a CAT ion?) 
anion:
negatively charged ions

Intermolecular forces and kinetic energy both play a role in the phase a substance is in at a particular temperature and pressur
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

(Highest kinetic energy)

3. Neon at 65 K and 15 atm

2. Neon at 55 K and 10 atm

4. Neon at 25 K and 5 atm

1. Neon at 5 K and 0 atm

(Lowest kinetic energy)

Explanation:

In gases, <em>kinetic energy is higher the higher the temperature is</em>. This is because the molecules have more available energy under those conditions. <u>Generally there's also an increase in kinetic energy if there's an increase in pressure</u> -assuming there's no phase changes ie. the gas condenses into a liquid-.
