Video transcript

Hey everyone in this example, we need to determine whether the statement is true or false. We have a statement that meta Lloyd's form cat ions and non metals form an ion. So we would say that meta Lloyd's do not form ions. We actually want to correct this statement by crossing out this ending part here and correcting it so that it says meta lloyds tend to form cat eye on by losing electron. And so this is actually therefore going to be a false statement as our final answer. So I hope that everything I viewed was clear. If you have any questions, please leave them down below and I will see everyone in the next practice video.
