Answer:

you know it is what it is☠

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonmetallic elements form ions by valence electrons to complete their outer shell. The valence electrons an element has in its outer shell, the easier it is to complete. The electron shells an element has, the easier it is to fill its outermost shell.
