Question

hey
_______

metals looses electron to satisfy octect rule

but why only metals whats the property which is present only in metals not in non metals that it doesnot metals dont gain electrons

•and kindly start from the basic things, dont use hard words that will make me confused!!

•explain it briefly?

•no spam
•no wrong ans
•short ans will be deleted

Answer 1

Solution:

Generally meatls have 1 or 2 electrons in their outermost shell.

For example, Na → 1s²,2s² 2p⁶, 3s¹

And, Non-metal have generally Have 5 ,6 or 7 electron in their outermost shell.

For example, Cl → 1s²,2s² 2p⁶, 3s² 3p⁵.

As, we know that,Non- Metals More ionisation enthalpy than metals.

Non-Metals(ionization enthalpy) > Metals(ionization enthalpy)

Thus, Non-metals required more energy to losse electron than Non-metal.

So, Metals generally losses their outermost shell electron.

And, Non-metals generally accept the electron to became stable.

Metal doesnot gain electron because it need lot of energy to fill 7 or 6 vacant orbital in shell.

------------------------

Ionization Enthalpy → Amount of Energy (Heat) required to remove one electron from outermost shell in isolated gaseous state.
