When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
When metals react with other elements do the atoms of the metals gain or lose?
Metals are likely to make anions. So they lose electrons to get a positive charge. The other elements gain electrons and get negatively charged.
What chemical bond occurs when atoms lose gain or share electrons?
When atoms lose and gain electrons, an ionic bond will form. When atoms share electrons, a covalent bond will form.
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
When molecules are formed atoms share or loose electrons?
To form a molecule, atoms can share, lose, and gain electrons
What is a chemical bond where atoms either gain or loose electrons?
ionic bonding :]
Why do atoms gain loose or share electrons?
Atom loose or gain electron to make its octet complete. It is done to achieve inert state.
How may valence electrons atoms of can nonmetals have?
Variable; a correct answer is possible only for a specified nonmetal.
The type of ion that forms when atoms gain electrons?
Atoms that gain electrons are called anions, and atoms that loose electrons are called cations
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously?
No, the atom would have to be in an environment where it could gain or loose electrons.
Is uranium more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Uranium loose electrons becoming a cation.
How many electrons does a nonmetal and metal receive during a chemical reaction?
In general chemical reactions, metals tend to loose electrons and non-metals gain electrons. The no. of electrons loosed by metals is the same as the no. of electrons gained by the non-metals.
What is the rule?
atoms either loose or gain a maximum of 2 valence electrons like hydrogen
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
