text: These outer electrons are strongly held and difficult to remove, so it is easier to gain electrons when an element is just a few electrons short of a stable noble gas structure with a full outer shell of electrons.
text: This has several effects, e.g. the atomic radius increases with the extra 'inner' shell of electrons, each added shell of electrons means the outer electrons are further away from the nucleus and less strongly held, the extra shell of electrons actually has a 'shielding' effect on the outer shell electrons and this further decreases the attractive force of the nucleus on the outer electrons, this increase in atom size and decreased attraction of the nucleus for the outer electrons has a powerful effect on the element's reactivity
text: The outer electrons of non-metals tend to be more strongly held than metals.
