The Oxidizing Properties of Non-metals |
Quiz Lesson: |
Nonmetals react by gaining electrons to become anions. This is called oxidation. Therefore, non-metals are oxidizing agents. The ability to accept electrons is called electronegativity of an element. The order of electronegativity of some non-metals is: Fluorine>Chlorine>Nitrogen>Bromine>Iodine>Carbon. Most electronegative elements displace least electronegative elements from their compounds. |
