Question

which elements would you expect to gain electrons in chemical changes?
drag the appropriate items to their respective bins.
nitrogen iodine tungsten strontium gold
would expect to gain electrons
wouldnt expect to gain electrons

Explanation:

Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to reach a stable electron configuration, while metals tend to lose electrons. Nitrogen (a nonmetal in group 15) and iodine (a nonmetal in group 17) will gain electrons. Tungsten, strontium, and gold are metals, so they tend to lose electrons rather than gain them.

Answer:

Would expect to gain electrons:

• nitrogen
• iodine

Wouldn't expect to gain electrons:

• tungsten
• strontium
• gold
