Want this question answered?
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
It can lose 1.
Sodium would LOSE 1 electron to satisfy the octet rule.
It wishes to lose 1 electron.
Selenium will gain two electrons and arsenic will gain three electrons
Se will gain electrons
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
It needs to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
In phosphene it gain 4 electrons. Phosphate lose 4 electrons
Sodium loses one electron to form a Na+ ion. Sulfur gains two electrons to form a sulfide ion, S2-.
It can lose 1.
it will lose 3 electrons
Selenium may lose 2, 4 or 6 electrons and may gain 2 electrons.
Sodium would LOSE 1 electron to satisfy the octet rule.
It wishes to lose 1 electron.
It must gain two electrons.
It will lose 2 electrons.
