OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure if it is C or D? Please help!

thomaster (thomaster):

Non-metals tend to form anions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thomaster would D be correct?

thomaster (thomaster):

yes group 6a (16) contains the most non metals (oxygen, sulfur and selenium)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!! :)

thomaster (thomaster):

Group 0 could also be the answer...

thomaster (thomaster):

Thats the same as 8a which are the noble gasses and theyre all non metals

thomaster (thomaster):

Group 6a also contains some metalloïds and post transition metals so i think the best answser is E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh but which would be correct then ? :(

thomaster (thomaster):

E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So E is correct? Thanks!!!
