What else can I help you with?
Do atoms of the halogen family of elements typically gain two electrons when they react?
Yes, halogen atoms typically gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in a full outer electron shell, similar to the noble gases.
Which atoms that gain or lose an electron?
For example metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve?
A stable electron configuration.
What is it when 2 atoms gain or loses an electron?
an ionic compound is formed
When atoms combine what do they gain or lose?
When atoms combine to form molecules, they can gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This process allows atoms to fill their outermost electron shell and attain a more stable, lower energy state.
If atoms of a halogen nonmetal gain one electron the atoms the have?
They become anions, with negative electrical charge.
what is a covalent structure?
A covalent structure is when two atoms share an electron to gain a fuller outer electron shell
How Atoms can accept or lose electron's. If an atom loses an electron what will its resulting charge be?
Gain of an electron transform the atom in an anion.Loss of an electron transform the atom in a cation.
What is is the reason that atoms bond with other atoms?
To gain electronic stability (i.e. stability with respect to their electron configuration)
How many atoms will rubidium gain?
Rubidium typically loses an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a 1+ cation. This means that rubidium gains no atoms; instead, it loses an electron to become a positively charged ion.
Why some atom lose electron and some gain electron?
Atoms lose or gain electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration, usually with a full outer energy level. Atoms with fewer electrons than a full outer level will lose electrons to achieve a more stable configuration, while atoms with more electrons than a full outer level will gain electrons to reach stability. This process allows atoms to achieve the same electron configuration as noble gases, which are known for their stability.
How do particles form negative ion?
Atoms become negatively charged when they gain an electron.
