Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.

What’s the fastest way to balance chemical equations
Anon25 [30]

Hey there!

The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.

Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.

Hope this helps!
