hey here is your answer
Metals: Metals like to lose valenceelectrons to form cations to have a fully stable octet. They absorb energy (endothermic) to lose electrons. Theelectron affinity of metals is lower than that of nonmetals. Nonmetals: Nonmetals like to gain electrons to form anions to have a fully stable octet.
hope you understand
