Does iodine lose electrons and form a positive ion?

Iodine typically gains an electron to form a -1 ion.


How many electrons are in I?

As an iodine atom has 53 electrons, an iodide ion has 54 electrons.


How many electrons will be in the valence shell of a iodine ion?

Iodine atom has 7 valence electrons, whereas Iodide ion has 8 valence electrons.


What is the total electron number for Iodine negative ion?

Iodine (symbol I) has atomic number 53, which means that it has 53 protons in the nucleus (by definition). Since an atom is neutral overall, and the charge on an electron is equal and opposite to that of a proton, the atom has 53 electrons.Being a group VII element (also known as a halogen), it gains one electron to fill its outer shell when it forms an ion (the I- ion). This gives it a total of 54 electrons.


How many electrons does iodine lose or gains when it forms a ion?

Iodine tends to gain one electron when it forms an ion.


How many protons and electrons are there in the iodide ion?

There are 53 protons and 53 electrons in an iodine atom.


What ion has 53 protons and 54 electrons?

The ion would be Iodine (I). It has 53 protons and normally has 53 electrons, so if it gains an extra electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion with 54 electrons.


How many protons neutrons and electrons are in an iodide 131 ion with a negative charge?

The atomic number of iodine, or I, is 53. Thus, neutral iodine would have 53 protons and 53 electrons. However, since we're talking about I-, we need to add an additional electron to this number, making it 54. Finally, the specific isotope of iodine in question, 131I, has 131 - 53 = 78 neutrons.


How many electrons are in a iodine ion?

An iodine ion typically has 53 electrons. The number of electrons in an ion is determined by its atomic number (in this case 53 for iodine) and its charge. Iodine commonly forms an anion with a charge of -1, meaning it gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What noble gas has the same configuration as an iodide ion?

I- ion (iodine ion and not iodine) and xenon will have the same number of electrons (54 electrons)


What particles will have a negative charge?

An electron has a negative charge. Also an ion in which there are more electrons than protons has a negative charge. Such an ion is called as anion.


When an ion gains electrons What is the charge?

Negative, when the ion gains an electron. When an ion loses an electron it becomes positive.
