Nonmetals tend to gain electrons in order to achieve a full outer shell, so they are said to have high electro-negativities.

Nonmetals want to have 8 valence electrons (like noble gases), so they must gain electrons.
They become negative because they will then have more electrons (-) than protons (+).

Hope this helps :)
