text: Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, as indicated by their low ionization energies.
text: Its energetically easier for a metal to lose a few electrons to form a stable positive ion than gain many electrons to form unstable negative ions.
text: The metallic elements in groups other than 1, 2, or 3 also lose electrons to form cations, but they do so in less easily predicted ways.
text: Metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions, as indicated by their low ionization energies.
text: Metals appear lustrous (beneath any patina); form mixtures (alloys) when combined with other metals; tend to lose or share electrons when they react with other substances; and each forms at least one predominantly basic oxide.
text: Metals tend to have low ionization energies, and typically lose electrons (i.e. are oxidized ) when they undergo chemical reactions They normally do not accept electrons.
text: : Metals tend to have low ionization energies, and typically lose electrons (i.e. are ) when they undergo chemical reactions They normally do not accept electrons.
text: Metals are excellent heat and electrical conductors because readily lose electrons which have the ability to participate in conducting electricity.
