If metals loose electrons to non metals are metals now anions?
No, it is not true. When metals loose electrons they become cations.
Compare acids and bases based on the ion formed when each compound is dissolved in water?
When an acid is dissolved in water, it forms loose hydrogen ions. When a base is dissolved in water, it releases loose hydroxide ions in water.
How nay electrons does nitrogen gain or loose in atomic bonding?
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals 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
When metals react with other elements the atoms of the metals loose or gain electrons?
They will loose electrons.
Why carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds in its compounds?
carbon atoms cannot form ionic bonds because it can neither gain or loose electrons as it has 4 electrons in its valence shell.so it share its electrons which forms covalent bond.
When nitrogen forms an ion how many electrons does it gain or lose?
Nitrogen is a unique element. It can loose one, two, three, four, or even five electrons. It can also gain one, two, or three electrons. These are not the only possibilities, however they are the most common.

Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons

What will Chlorine loose or gain when it forms an Ion?
Chlorine will gain one electron in order to establish a full outer shell of electrons. Chlorine atoms have 7 valence electrons, but with one extra electron, it can establish a stable octet.
Is footloose a compound word?
As "foot" and "loose" are words, then footloose is a compound word.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals 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
Cations are formed when neutral atoms lose?
Yes, they loose electrons : e-
