Question

Select all that apply. a nonmetal: is more likely to attract an electron than a metal is more likely to lose an electron than a metal requires more energy to lose an electron than a metal requires less energy to lose an electron than a metal

Answer 1

A nonmetal:

is more likely than a metal to attract an electron

requires more energy than a metal to lose an electron

Answer 2

The correct answer is
requires more energy to lose an electron than a metal 

In fact, the main characteristics of the metals is that they have many electrons free to move through the lattice of the material, so it is easy for a metal to gain/lose electrons. On the contrary, non-metals don't have free electrons, so more energy is required in order to rip an electron from the atoms of the material.
