Atoms of nonmetals usually lose electrons when they combine with other atoms true or false

Non metallic elements are elements which have higher electronegativity than metallic elements. Since they have higher electronegativity, therefore they absorb electrons to form anion. So the term should be gain and not lose electrons hence the answer is FALSE.

False

elements make up everything, and they combine to make compounds.

the answer is c
