Would sulfur gain or lose an electron when forming an ion?
Sulfur can both gain and lose electrons when forming ions. It can gain two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2-) or lose two electrons to form a sulfide ion (S2+).
How many electrons will each atom either gain or lose in order to satisfy the octet rule of Na?
Each sodium atom will lose one electron to achieve a complete octet in its outer shell, as the octet rule dictates atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell.
Does sn gain or lose electrons?
Sulfur typically gains electrons to form a stable electron configuration. It can gain up to two electrons to achieve a full valence shell of eight electrons.
Do nonmetals lose electrons when they react?
Nonmetals tend to gain electrons when they react, rather than lose them. This is because they have fewer electrons in their outer shell and they have a higher tendency to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
How many electrons can nitrogen lose or gain?
Nitrogen can gain 3 electrons to achieve a full outer shell with 8 electrons, or lose 5 electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas neon.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Will Se lose or gain electrons and how many?
Se will gain electrons
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
How many electrons does Si gain or lose?
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
Do metasls gain electrons?
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
Does copper gain or lose electrons?
it loses electrons
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
Atoms typically do not lose protons because that would change the identity of the element. Instead, atoms can lose or gain electrons to form ions with a different charge. Protons are not generally lost by atoms in chemical reactions.
What do ions gain or lose?
Electrons
How many electrons will selenium lose or gain in forming an ion?
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
Does astatine lose or gain electrons?
Gain of one electron
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
