What on earth?
I could use a little help undertstanding this question...
 
Chemical Properties of Nonmetals:

* Tend to gain electrons

Since metals tend to lose electrons and nonmetals tend to gain electrons, metals and nonmetals like to form compounds with each other. These compounds are called ionic compounds. When two or more nonmetals bond with each other, they form a covalent compound.

-hope it helps..
 
Transition metals take longer to oxidise, and water and two metals form an electrochemical cell.
