Question

reactivity of nonmetals is the complete opposite of metals because nonmetals are trying to keep their electrons gain electrons lose electrons

Explanation:

Metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Nonmetals, on the other hand, have a higher electronegativity and are more likely to gain electrons to complete their valence shell (usually aiming for 8 electrons like the noble gases). For example, oxygen (\(O\)) has 6 valence electrons and gains 2 electrons to form \(O^{2 -}\).

Answer:

gain electrons
