The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
16-18= -2 so it has a negative charge. Just subtract the electrons from the protons if you get a positive number it will have a positive charge and vice versa.
No elements visible!
Ions form between metals and non-metals.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The answer to your question is 80.3%
Explanation:
Data
Percent by mass of F
molecules NF₃
Process
1.- Calculate the molar mass of nitrogen trifluoride
molar mass = (1 x 14) + (19 x 3)
= 14 + 57
= 71 g
2.- Use proportions and cross multiplications to find the percent by mass of F. The molar mass of NF₃ is equal to 100%.
71 g of NF₃ ------------------ 100%
57 g of F ------------------- x
x = (57 x 100)/71
x = 5700 / 71
x = 80.3%
3.- Conclusion
Fluorine is 80.3% by mass of the molecule NF₃
