Answer:

The metals have the tedency to lose electrons and become positive ions

Reason:

In order to attain noble gases electronic configuration, metals of group I A lose one electron and II A lose 2 electrons with ionization energy.

Example :

  • Na = 1s∧2 2s∧2 2p∧6 2s∧1

Ater removal of one electron

  • Na = 1s∧2 2s∧2 2p∧6 that show valence shell have complete 8 electrons.

Similarly non-metals gain the electrons and become negative.
