Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
Chlorine gain electrons.
Metals tend to lose electrons to gain positive ions?
nonmetals gain electronsmetals lose electrons
Does bromine tend to lose or gain electrons to become an ion?
Bromine, like Fluorine and Chlorine, is an Halogen. Halogens gain an electron to become X^(-) anion. 'X' being the general symbol for an halogen.
Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Metals usually lose electrons, this is why many charges are positive.
How many electrons does sulfur gain or lose to become stable?
Sulfur gains 2 electrons to become stable.
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
