Answer 1

Answer⤵️⤵️

• Metals lose electrons in bonding whilst non-metals gain electrons during ionic bonding hence metals form cations and non-metals form anions.

• It is difficult for a nonmetal such as oxygen to lose 6 electrons to form a cation since it would need a lot of energy.

Answer 2

option a

• non metals gain electrons
• metals lose electrons
