Question

Discussing this chapter, a classmate says, “Since elements 
that form cations are metals and elements that form anions 
are nonmetals, elements that do not form ions are metalloids.” 
Do you agree or disagree?

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone in this example, we need to determine whether the statement is true or false. We have a statement that meta Lloyd's form cat ions and non metals form an ion. So we would say that meta Lloyd's do not form ions. We actually want to correct this statement by crossing out this ending part here and correcting it so that it says meta lloyds tend to form cat eye on by losing electron. And so this is actually therefore going to be a false statement as our final answer. So I hope that everything I viewed was clear. If you have any questions, please leave them down below and I will see everyone in the next practice video.
