How many electrons for Aluminum to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
Aluminum needs to lose 3 electrons to gain a noble gas electron configuration.
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.
Will Ba gain or lose electrons?
gain 2
Does group 13 elements lose or gain valence electrons?
It is going to lose electrons
How many electrons will selenium lose or gain in forming an ion?
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
How many electrons for Aluminum to achieve a noble gas electron configuration?
Aluminum needs to lose 3 electrons to gain a noble gas electron configuration.
What occurred to give aluminum a 3 charge?
For an aluminium atom to gain a 3+ charge, it must lose its 3 outermost electrons; its valence electron. It then becomes an aluminium cation.
What is the number of Electrons lost or gained by aluminium?
Aluminium will lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ions.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
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
How many electrons are needed to be gained to obtain a Noble Gas Configuration for the element Al?
Aluminium should gain 5 electrons or lose 3 electrons. It will normally lose 3 electrons to form Al3+ ion, rather than gaining 5 electrons and forming Al5- ion.
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
The lose of electrons from a molucule is called?
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
