Which of the following elements sodium oxygen chlorine and aluminium will give out electrons and how many electrons will it accept?
Sodium lose one electron, aluminium lose three electrons.Chlorine accept one electron, oxygen accept two electrons.
When the compound donates electrons what does that compound become?
When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"
How many electrons does Mg need to be stable?
Mg is a metal and does not need the electrons it donates two electrons and becomes stable.
What is the number of electrons in sodium?
There are a total of 11 electrons in Sodium.
How many electrons are lost by 42 g of sodium when its atom are oxidized to ions?
The ion sodium is Na + so we have a one to one loss and can just find the atoms of sodium in the mass. 42 grams sodium (1 mole Na/22.99 grams)(6.022 X 1023/1 mole Na) = 1.1 X 1024 atoms of sodium -----------------------------------------now, Every atom of sodium donates one electron to become a sodium ion. So. We have.....1.1 X 1024 .......electrons lost by 42 grams of sodium ionized.
Does sodium chloride share electrons?
Actually, sodium almost donates an electron to chlorine in NaCl.
How do you determine if an object is metal?
if the element donates electrons then it is called a metal. eg. sodium, iron,etc.
Does boron accept or donates?
When going through an ionic bond, boron gives away three electrons.
Which of the following elements sodium oxygen chlorine and aluminium will give out electrons and how many electrons will it accept?
Sodium lose one electron, aluminium lose three electrons.Chlorine accept one electron, oxygen accept two electrons.
How many protons electrons and neutrons does sodium contain?
23Na is the stable isotope of sodium. In its neutral state it has 11 protons and 12 neutrons, hence 11 electrons. Its commonest oxidation state is +1 (meaning that it 'donates' a single electron). Hence, a sodium ion has 10 electrons. Please see the links.
When the compound donates electrons what does that compound become?
When it donates electrons, the compound is going through a process called "ionic bonding"
What group of elements donates electrons?
metals
Is salt an electron acceptor?
Table 'Salt' is NaCl Sodium Chloride and is not a proton donor has it has no hydrogen to donate
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
When sodium forms an ionic bond with chlorine the sodium atom donates an electron to chlorine and becomes a 19 charged ion?
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.
How many electrons does Mg need to be stable?
Mg is a metal and does not need the electrons it donates two electrons and becomes stable.
How many electrons does a stable sodium atom have?
A stable sodium atom has 11 electrons.
