Nonmetals typically lack what capability, because they hold onto their electrons?

  • Correct Answer: conducting electricity
  • mental capacity
  • magnetic attraction
  • repelling electricity

Explanation: Like most other nonmetals, fluorine cannot conduct electricity, and its electrons explain this as well. An electric current is a flow of electrons. Elements that readily give up electrons (the metals) can carry electric current because their electrons can flow freely. Elements that gain electrons instead of giving them up cannot carry electric current. They hold onto their electrons so they cannot flow.
