Question

When metal atoms bond with nonmetal atoms, what will the non metal atoms do?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom until the outer shells of their resultant atoms are similar to that of a noble gas. The metals lose electrons and form cations while the non-metals accept the electrons and form anions.

Answer 2

When a chemical bond forms between metal and nonmetal atoms, the nonmetal atom accepts electrons from the metal atom to reach a stable state.

A bond that forms between metal and nonmetal atoms is called an ionic bond.  In ionic bonding, the metal atom, the cation, donates electrons to the nonmetal atom, the anion.

Thus, both electron donor and acceptor are able to reach an octet state through donation/acceptance of electrons and an ionic bond is formed as a result.
