Question

Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?

Answer 1

Non-metals

Step-by-step explanation:

when they form ionic compounds do so by gaining electrons. This due to the fact that they have high ionization energies and high electron affinities (referring to their ability to collect electrons). When they do form ions, they are of negative charge and are called anions.

Answer 2

Isotopes each of two or more forms of the same element
