Question

how are all of the nonmetal elements on the periodic table related in terms of ability to lose electrons?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonmetal elements have relatively low boiling points, are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and don't like to lose electrons. ... Metals and nonmetals react to form ionic compounds. In these reactions, nonmetals steal electrons from metals.

Answer 2

Nonmetal elements have relatively low boiling points, are poor conductors of heat and electricity, and don't like to lose electrons. ... Metals and nonmetals react to form ionic compounds. In these reactions, nonmetals steal electrons from metals.

Orrrrrrrrrr...

Nonmetal elements have relatively low boiling points, are poor conductors of warmth and electricity, and do not wish to lose electrons. ... Metals and nonmetals react to make ionic compounds. In these reactions, nonmetals steal electrons from metals.
