Can calcium become stable by losing 1 electron?
Calcium loses its two valence electrons to become Ca 2+ ion.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
How many electrons is the alkali metal losing when it becomes an ion?
Alkali metals lose one electron when it becomes an ion.
Potassium has an atomic number of 19 it often forms a ion by losing 1 electron what charge would the ion have?
+1
Which of these can become stable by losing 1 electron calcium argon sodium nitrogen oxygen chlorine?
Sodium can become stable by losing 1 electron, forming a sodium ion with a 1+ charge, with the formula Na+. By losing its single valence electron, the resulting sodium ion achieves the noble gas configuration of neon, so that it has an octet (8) of valence electrons.
Can calcium become stable by losing 1 electron?
Calcium loses its two valence electrons to become Ca 2+ ion.
What happens when an atom loses n electron?
If the atom was not a negative ion prior to losing an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
If a hydrogen atom loses its electron does it become a negative?
Since electrons are negatively charged, losing an electron will make the hydrogen atom become a positively charged ion.
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
How does a positive ion become a neutral atom?
It can be positive or negative depending on if the atom loses or gains an electron. If it gains an electron it becomes negative and if it loses an electron it becomes positive.
Most halogens form compounds by a. gaining an electron to form a negative ion. b. losing an electron to form a positive ion. c. losing protons. d. joining with both calcium and carbon.?
A: Gaining an electron
An atom can become an ion by losing?
An atom can become an ion by losing electrons. It can accomplish the same thing by gaining electrons.
How does sodium atom form an ion?
A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion, when a neutron is added to the nucleus.
Why ion have an electrical chrage?
Because they are either losing or gaining an electron
Why is hydrogen positive ion?
The H+ ion has a positive charge because it has lost one electron. Since hydrogen has only one electron in its base state, H+ has no electrons. The positive charge of the ion occurs because the hydrogen atom has lost an electron. Electrons are negatively charged particles; therefore, losing an electron causes the hydrogen atom to become more positive (less negative) than before.
What is electrovalence is something that has givin up its electron and become an Ion?
Electrovalence is a another word for somthing that has given up its electron and become an ion.
