What happens to metals when they donate electrons?
They become positively charged ions.
Are ions unstable?
Ions can be stable or unstable depending on their electronic configuration. In general, ions that have a full outer electron shell (like noble gas configurations) tend to be more stable, while ions that are missing or have extra electrons may exhibit greater reactivity or instability.
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
Why are the alkali metals explosive in water?
Because the positive ions mix together to make them unstable
What is the primary reason an atoms nucleus is unstable?
Increasing the ratio neutrons/protons in the nucleus the atom become unstable.
What happens to an unstable nuclei?
They give out radiation to become more stable.
What happens to materials that become positive recharge?
they are ions
What happens to metals when they donate electrons?
They become positively charged ions.
What happens if Homeostasis doesn't work?
then the cell will become unstable and the cell is most likely doomed!
Which atoms form ions most easily?
unstable atoms
What causes air to become more unstable?
what is the only way air can become unstable
What happens to the energy level and stablility of two bonded aroms when they are separated and become individual atoms?
The energy levin increases and the atoms become more unstable
What happens to an emotionally unstable person if not medicated?
They stay emotionally unstable.
Are ions unstable?
Ions can be stable or unstable depending on their electronic configuration. In general, ions that have a full outer electron shell (like noble gas configurations) tend to be more stable, while ions that are missing or have extra electrons may exhibit greater reactivity or instability.
What happens when electrons gain its charge?
Electrons always have their charge, when atoms gain electrons, they become ions.
Is each ion stable?
No, not all ions are stable. Ions can be stable or unstable depending on their electron configuration. Stable ions often have a full valence shell, while unstable ions may have an incomplete valence shell, leading to reactivity in order to achieve stability through gaining or losing electrons.
When halite dissolves in water what happens to the chlorine?
When halite dissolves in water, the chlorine ions in the halite dissociate from the sodium ions and become hydrated, forming chloride ions. These chloride ions remain in solution in the water.
