Respuesta :
Metals have the greatest tendency to lose electrons and become positive ions.
Answer:
The metals have the tedency to lose electrons and become positive ions
Reason:
In order to attain noble gases electronic configuration, metals of group I A lose one electron and II A lose 2 electrons with ionization energy.
Example :
- Na = 1s∧2 2s∧2 2p∧6 2s∧1
Ater removal of one electron
- Na = 1s∧2 2s∧2 2p∧6 that show valence shell have complete 8 electrons.
Similarly non-metals gain the electrons and become negative.
