Why Do You Think Nonmetals Tend To Be Good At Sharing Electrons?
Why Do You Think Nonmetals Tend To Be Good At Sharing Electrons? The non-metals all have fairly high ionization energies, meaning that it is relatively difficult to remove their valence electrons. The non-metals also have relatively high electron affinities, so they tend to attract electrons to themselves. So, they share valence electrons with other non-metals.
