Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of above

Classification of the Elements:

Metals - elements that lose electrons fairly easily (and do not gain electrons easily)

Metalloids - elements that neither gain nor lose electrons very easily but can do both in moderation

Non-metals - elements that gain electrons fairly easily (and do not lose electrons easily)

Inert gases - elements that find it hard to either gain or lose electrons.
