In terms of non-metals, the electrons are held tightly by the nucleus. Therefore nonmetals are very unwilling to give their electrons away. Nonmetals don't donate electrons as easily as metals, so society and chemists from the early ages distinguished between metals and nonmetals, Regards, Mike
Chemical Properties. Metals. Nonmetals. 1  Usually have 1-3 electrons in their outer shell. 2  Lose their valence electrons easily. 3  Form oxides that are basic. 4  Are good reducing agents. 5  Have lower electronegativities. 6  Usually have 4-8 electrons in their outer shell. 7  Gain or share valence electrons easily.8  Form oxides that are acidic.etals.
