Answer:
Nonmetallic elements form ions by gaining valence electrons to complete their outer shell.
The more valence electrons an element has in its outer shell, the easier it is to complete.
The fewer electron shells an element has, the easier it is to fill its outermost shell.
Reactivity in nonmetals increases as you go from left to right in a group, and
decreases as you go from top to bottom.
Explanation:
Nonmetallic elements form ions by gaining valence electrons to complete
their outer shell.
The more valence electrons an element has in its outer shell, the easier it is to complete.
The fewer electron shells an element has, the easier it is to fill its outermost shell.
Reactivity in nonmetals increases as you go from left to right in a group, and decreases as you go from top to bottom.
When there are more valence electrons then it makes it easy for the element
to complete its outermost shell as against if it was less as it would be harder
due to a bigger number of electrons needed.
Non metals are elements which accepts valence electrons to complete its
outermost shell and becomes negatively charged when this happens.
When an element has fewer electron shells then filling the outermost shell
will be easier as the electron shells require a lesser number of electrons and
increases as the number of shells increases.
This is because the tendency to accept electrons increases from left to right
and decreases down the group.
