Question

What happens to the electrons of metal elements when forimg ionic compound with nonmetals?

Answer 1

the electrons are transfered to the orbitals of the respective non-metal.and the non metal gains negative charge and the metal gains positive charge because of which they are attracted by a strong force called electrostatic force.



Hope u got that

Answer 2

the metallic elements donate their electron ti the non metallic elements during the formation of an ionic compound, and form ions immediately, hence the name ionic compound
