Question

Why do non-metals want to form ions?

When do non metals form ions?
When non metals gain electrons where do the electrons come from?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-metals want to be stabilized by making the utmost electron shell complete.

Non-metals form ions when they bond with metals to form an ionic bond. But sometimes, they also form ions with non-metals like NH4Cl.

They take away the electrons from the other ion that it bonds with.
