How many valence electrons will beryllium gain or lose to fill its outer shell?
Beryllium will lose 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule (to fill its outer shell).
Does strontium Sr gain or lose electrons?
Strontium, as a metal, lose electrons forming divalent cations.
What does it do to complete the octet?
It is necessary to gain/lose electrons.
How many electrons must strontium lose to have a noble gas electron configuration?
It should lose two electrons
How many electrons does a strontium lose or gain?
5s orbital
How many electrons will each atom either gain or lose in order to satisfy the octet rule of Na?
Sodium would LOSE 1 electron to satisfy the octet rule.
How many valence electrons will beryllium gain or lose to fill its outer shell?
Beryllium will lose 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule (to fill its outer shell).
Does strontium transfer electrons or take in electrons or share them?
Strontium lose electrons.
Do you gain or loose electrons to satisfy outet aluminum?
Aluminum must lose 3 electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Once it does this, it becomes the Al+3 ion, and is isoelectronic with noble gas neon.
Does strontium Sr gain or lose electrons?
Strontium, as a metal, lose electrons forming divalent cations.
Do metals gain electrons to have full octet?
No, metals tend to lose electrons to achieve a full octet.
When metals lose electrons what do they form?
Metals lose electrons and form cations to get a full octet.
What does it do to complete the octet?
It is necessary to gain/lose electrons.
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.
Does xenon gain or lose electrons to be a stable octet?
Neither. It has a stable octet in its ground state.
How many electrons must strontium lose to have a noble gas electron configuration?
It should lose two electrons
What do metallic atoms produce when they lose their valence electrons?
An octet
