Does xenon gain or lose electrons to be a stable octet?
Neither. It has a stable octet in its ground state.
Which atom has the greatest tendency to gain electrons Al Rb F I?
Fluorine require only one electron to fill its outer shell. Hence it has the greatest tendency to gain electrons than Al, Rb and I.
Does gold have the tendency to lose or gain electrons in a chemical reaction?
Gold will lose electrons because it has two valence electrons in the S orbital
How the tendency change to gain electrons from left to right across a period?
Increases on moving left to right
Why do nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form negative ion?
There are two reasons for that. Non metals do not have octet of electrons on their valence shell. Addition of electrons help them satisfy octet tule. Non metals have high electron affinity and hence high tendency to gain electrons.
Do nonmetals loses electrons?
No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
Which elements are most likely to gain electrons?
metals have a tendency to lose electrons while nonmetals have a tendency to gain electrons. Metals are located left of the stair-step line and non-metals are located to its right.
Does strontium have the tendency to lose or gain electrons in a chemical reaction?
You wouldn't expect strontium to gain electrons in a chemical change.
Do atoms gain electrons?
Yes, it is normal - in reduction reactions.
Does xenon gain or lose electrons to be a stable octet?
Neither. It has a stable octet in its ground state.
Do nonmetals only lose electrons?
No. Nonmetals generally gain electrons during chemical reactions.
Which atom has the greatest tendency to gain electrons Al Rb F I?
Fluorine require only one electron to fill its outer shell. Hence it has the greatest tendency to gain electrons than Al, Rb and I.
Reactions in which electrons are transferred between atoms?
This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).
Does gold have the tendency to lose or gain electrons in a chemical reaction?
Gold will lose electrons because it has two valence electrons in the S orbital
Will potassium lose electrons or gain electrons when reacting with bromine?
Potassium would lose electrons in all its reactions especially with Bromine.
Oxidation and reduction reactions are chemical processes that result in a gain or loss in?
ELECTRONS
