An atoms relative ability to attract electrons shared in a chemical bond is known as its?
Electronegativity. The strongest element is F.
Why is the oxidation number of oxygen -2?
As oxygen is a highly electronegative element, it tends to gain 2 electrons in most cases. The only exceptions are the peroxides, superoxides, ozonides and the oxy-fluoro compounds.
What type of element tends to lose electrons?
Metals
Why does nitrogen not normally react with oxygen?
Oxidation potential is too low. N tends to gain electrons.
How many electrons does curium have?
Curium is element 96 on the periodic chart. It has 96 protons (of course) and will have 96 electrons in its neutral state. It tends to loan electrons out to form bonds, and would like to loan out 3 of them, because that is its oxidation state. A link can be found below.

What type of element tends to lose electrons which form bonds?
Non-metals
Which type of element tends to give away electrons conduct electricity and is lustrious?
matals
Why isotopes of the same elements are chemically similar?
because chemical reactions rely on the donation, acceptance and/or sharing of electrons - if the number of electrons remains the same, the chemical behavior tends to remain the same (and isotopes of the same element will all have the same number of electrons and valence shell occupations).
What is the number of valence electrons in group IA?
The most electrons an outer shell for group IA metals can have is 2 because IA metals are of the s energy level the max they can hold in an orbital is 2 electrons.
Is the element silicon likely to form ionic or covalent bonds. why?
Silicon is an element in group 14. It has four valence electrons. Silicon tends to share electrons rather than releasing or obtaining four electrons (which needs tremendous energy). Hence it forms covalent bonds.
What subatomic particle has a very small mass and a negative charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. When an element had more electrons than protons, it tends to have a negative charge.
Are electrons in an atom related to protons?
Yes. The number of electrons in an atom tends to balance the number of protons. However, some atoms have more or less electrons, meaning they are in an ionic, or charged form.
