Can a atom lose electrons while gaining electrons at the same time If its possible, what would cause this reaction?
If a Na atom is giving an electron to a Cl atom to form an ionic bond, could the Na or CI atoms gain electrons from other surrounding atoms?
this is actually possible . this is because it will form an ionic bond will result a complete transfer of valence electrons from one atom to the other resulting in two ions with opposite charges
What else can I help you with?
How can an atom become positively or negatively charged by gaining or losing this subatomic particle?
An atom can become positively charged by losing an electron, resulting in more protons than electrons. Conversely, an atom can become negatively charged by gaining an electron, which creates an excess of electrons compared to protons.
What type of reactions occur when a chemical substance loses electrons to another substance?
If one substance is losing electrons (where it is gaining charge, or oxidizing), we must assume those electrons are going to another substance in the reaction, which will cause the charge to go down, or reduce. This type of equation is called a Redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.
Can an electric can opener cause a chemical reaction on a tin can?
It is not possible.
If you have Mg and after a reaction you then have Mg2 what happened to cause this change?
Mgnesium lost two electrons (reduction).
How a battery cause electron in move in a circuit?
It is an oxidation/reduction reaction. Electrons flow from anode to cathode.
Can marijuana cause traffic accidents?
It is possible because marijuana delays reaction time.
What happens in a redox reaction?
Electrons are transferred between atoms.
What is the difference between an oxidizing agent and a fuel?
An oxidizing agent is a substance that can accept electrons and cause other substances to lose electrons in a chemical reaction. A fuel is a substance that undergoes combustion to produce energy. In a chemical reaction, the oxidizing agent facilitates the combustion of the fuel by accepting electrons from it.
Why chemical reaction happen?
Basically it just has to do with how the electrons orbiting the atoms in the molecules prefer to behave. Add: Reactions generally happen in order to cause the electrons to reach a lower, more stable energy state.
What cause a bond to form?
Elements always want to be stable. That's their main goal. They can become stable by getting (usually) 8 electrons in their outermost energy level. They either gain or lose electrons, depending upon which is easier. This gaining or losing of electrons is called bonding. There are two main types of bonds, covalent and ionic. Covalent is where electrons are shared, Ionic is where electrons are given from one element to another.
What is the maxium number of electrons an f orbital will hold?
There are seven different possible magnetic quantum numbers or seven orbitals. In that cause the maximum number of electrons an f orbital will hold would be fourteen.
Can bath salts make you swell?
It may be possible that people can have an allergic reaction to bath salts. This may cause parts of the body to swell, or cause be people to be unable to breath.
