Does a carbon atom lose or gain electrons?
gain
When you rub two objects together they can what or what electrons?
Gain or lose
What do atoms gain or lose when they bond?
If the chemical bond is ionic, an electron is gained or lost. If it is covalent, the electron is shared equally; if it is polar covalent, the electron is shared unequally. If the bond is intermolecular, no parts of the atom are actually shared, gained, or lost; the atom itself is simply attracted to other atoms.
Does AS3- lose or gain electrons?
The ion given is formed when the neutral arsenic atom gains three electrons.
What happens to electrons from the aluminum as they form aluminum cations?
Since this is a metal it is going to lose electrons. Metals lose the electrons while nonmetals gain electrons.
Would aluminum gain or lose electrons to becom like argon?
Aluminum would have to gain five.
Does Aluminium lose or gain electrons?
The elemental state of aluminum tends to lose electrons. Its ionic state is 3+ which means it is most likely to lose up to 3 electrons.
Oxidation number aluminum?
Aluminum has an oxidation number of +3. It wants to get a full outer shell of 8. So it will either lose or gain electrons. It is easier to lose three electrons. If you lose electrons, it makes it positive.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
Do you gain or loose electrons to satisfy outet aluminum?
Aluminum must lose 3 electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Once it does this, it becomes the Al+3 ion, and is isoelectronic with noble gas neon.
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.
How many electrons can phosphorous gain or lose?
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
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
How many electrons will phosphorus gain or lose in forming an ion?
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
