Classify the following elements and determine how many valence electrons were gained/lost. Lastly, identify the ion for each element. Fr- metal, nonmetal, metalloid
Fr has ___(lost/gained) electrons
Fr ion-

P- metal, nonmetal, metalloid
P has ___(lost/gained)
electrons
P ion-

yea hi

explanation:

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.
