How many electrons does rubidium gain or lose?
It can lose 1.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
In order to form an octet an atom of selenium will lose or gain?
gain 2 electrons
What cannot change in an atom is it protons neutrons or electrons?
An atoms protons cannot change.The number of neutrons can change (gain or lose) to form an isotope (ex. Hydrogen naturally has no neutrons. But it can gain neutrons to form Heavy Hydrogen, or in other words, a Hydrogen Isotope).An atom can gain or lose electrons to form an ion. Usually an atom will gain or lose electrons to fill its valence (outermost) shell. It takes just as much energy to gain an electron as it is to lose one, so an atom will always look to lose or gain the least amount of electrons possible. (ex. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. It will look to gain 2 electrons, rather than lose 6).Protons: DO NOT CHANGENeutrons: Can change to form an isotopeElectrons: Can change to form an ion
Will sodium gain or lose electrons?
Sodium will lose 1 electron to form a sodium ion.
How many electrons does rubidium gain or lose?
It can lose 1.
When atoms lose or gain electrons they from?
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
Can atoms lose or gain atoms to form elements?
No. Atoms of an element lose or gain electrons to form ions.
What type of elements gain and loose electrons as they form bonds?
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
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.
Does Polonium gain or lose electrons?
Polonium will neither gain nor lose electron. it will prefer to form covalent compounds by sharing of electrons.
Do nonmetals lose electron when they form ions?
No. They gain electrons
In order to form an octet an atom of selenium will lose or gain?
gain 2 electrons
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
What atoms tend to gain two electrons to form a anion?
se and sometimes gain electrons. Atoms with eight valence electrons do not easily lose electrons
