What is the process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable?
The process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable is called ionization.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
Why do Non-metal atoms gain electrons to become an ion?
bcc it's the same
What is bariums appearance?
Barium (as an element not an ion) has a proton number and electron number of 56. It has 6 shells the outermost shell has 2 electrons. It is in Group 2 on the periodic table which shows that it tends to lose its 2 valence electrons in order to become stable. It has 56 protons and 81 neutrons in its nucleus.
How do then properties of noble gases support this model?
to gain or lose electrons to become stable
How many electrons do barium need to lose to become stable?
2
Elements in Group 1 become more stable by what an electron?
Elements in group two become more stable as they all have complete electron shell.They do not have valence electrons and hence they are less reactive.Some of the elements of group 2 are Barium,Magnesium and Calcium
Why it is said that outermost shell should contain 8 electrons?
According to the Octect Rule, an atom is most stable when its outermost shell has 8 electrons. So atoms try to attain 8 electrons in their outer shell.
How many electrons does sulfur gain or lose to become stable?
Sulfur gains 2 electrons to become stable.
What is the process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable?
The process of losing or gaining electrons to become stable is called ionization.
Do metals usually gain or loose electrons to be stable?
Metals will LOSE electrons to become stable.
How many electrons must beryllium loose to become stable?
Beryllium is a stable element.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
Where are the elements with a stable octect or duet?
stable octet are the noble gases (group 18 on the periodic table) thats why they are less reactive
What happens to metals in ionic bonding?
Metals lose electrons to become positively charged but stable. The electrons they lose are accepted by the non-metal to become negatively charged but stable.
Which of the elements is stable?
a stable element is an element which have been able to complet its octect rule, i.e the electron of its outermost shell is complet, this is what is called a stable element
What do some atoms share to become stable?
I do believe the answer is electrons.
