This resource explains the rules governing valence electrons in the periodic table, highlighting how metals and nonmetals behave differently. Metals can only lose electrons to form positively charged ions, while nonmetals can gain or lose electrons to achieve negative or positive charges, respectively. The positioning of metalloids is also discussed, as they can align with either metals or nonmetals based on their placement relative to the periodic table’s dividing line. Key examples include the electron configurations and charge states for alkali metals and halogens.

The Rules: Metals can ONLY lose e- = positively charged Nonmetals can gain or lose e- gain = negatively charged lose = positively charged For valences, the metalloids are grouped either With the metals or nonmetals, depending which Side of the line they are on
