1
Q
Charge of group 1-3 & transition metals
A
in a chemical reaction, they form positive ions (LOSE ELECTRON/S)
2
Q
Generally groups 4-8
A
In a chemical reaction, they gain electrons to form negative ions
3
Q
what happens to the non-metal in a chemical reaction?
A
Non-metal gain electrons to get a full valence shell
4
