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

1 answer:

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

Answer:

The appropriate option will be Option A (unequal sharing of electrons in a covalent bond).

Explanation:

A polar bond seems to be a covalent bond amongst two or even more atoms where there is an uneven distribution of the electrons surrounding the connection.
This induces a small electrical magnetic dipole in the molecules whereby the end becomes generally favorable and another is mildly controversial.

The other choices aren't relevant to the situation presented. The answer above would be appropriate.
