Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
4 0
The reason for this is because nonmetals, have close to fulfilling an octet and need to gain few more electrons to do this, not to lose more. Nonmetals, because of the fact they need only few more electrons to satisfy their octet they would receive or share electrons to do this.

The property that nonmetals have are that they are very electronegative, they possess a strong affinity to pull electron density closer, because they possess fewer electron shells and possess even protons this allows for this.

Why is it dangerous to have electric appliances near you when you are taking a bath?

given the balanced equation representing a reaction: 2H2 O2 = 2H2O, what is the total mass of water formed when 8 grams of hydro
Vadim26 [7]
The reaction equation represents the mole number ratio. So the hydrogen is 8/2=4 mol. Oxygen is 64/32=2 mol. So the water is 4 mol. The mass of water is 4*18=72 g. Or if it is confirmed that they are completely reacted. You can simply add them up.
