  1. Metals Lose and nonmetals gain or share.

    covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared and ionic bonds are formed when they are lost.


  2. they lose them to become cations or ions that have a positive charge

  3. They lose electrons to form ionic compounds.

  4. Nope- most of the time they lose electrons.

  5. They donate their electrons to their ligands.
