Non-metals gain electrons from metals because non-metals have a higher electronegativity, which means they have a stronger pull on electrons. Metals tend to lose electrons easily due to their low electronegativity, making them more likely to transfer electrons to non-metals in ionic bonding to achieve stable electron configurations.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Nonmetals usually accept electrons to become negative ions (anions), e.g. Cl + e- --> Cl-.
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
Metals and non-metals are the two groups. Metal loose electrons. Non metals gain electrons.
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.

to lose electrons
Actually, non metals always gain electrons
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
Generally non-metals gain electrons and form anions.
Covalent bonds are formed when non-metals share electrons. Ionic bonds are formed when metals and non-metals lose and gain electrons.

No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.
