How many electrons will a sulfur atom gain or lose to achieve a noble gas structure?
Sulfur will gain 2 electrons
When sulfur reacts with other elements it does not lose its electrons but rather gain two electrons why?
Because sulfur's valence shell is more than half full with 6 electrons. I takes less energy for sulfur to gain 2 electrons than it does for sulfur to lose electrons.
How many electrons does sulfur gain or lose to become stable?
Sulfur gains 2 electrons to become stable.
Does a sulfur atom gain or lose an ion and does it lose an electron or proton or neutron?
Sulfur can gain maximum of 2 electrons and lose maximum of 6 electrons.
How many electrons does a sulfur atom lose to form an ion?
they both gain 2 electrons becoming the anions Oxide and Sulfide, O2- and S2-
What number of electrons must sulfur gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Sulfur must gain two electrons.

How many electrons does sulfur gain or lose to become stable?
Sulfur gains 2 electrons to become stable.
How many valence electrons must sulfur gain or lose to get 8 valence electrons?
It must gain two electrons.
What does a sulfur atom need to do to become an ion?
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
Does a sulfur atom gain or lose an ion and does it lose an electron or proton or neutron?
Sulfur can gain maximum of 2 electrons and lose maximum of 6 electrons.
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
Why does sulfur gain electrons when forming ionic bonds?
because nonmetals gain electrons in ionic bonds and metals lose electrons in ionic bonds(oxidize).
How does a cation form?
Cations form when atoms lose electrons, they gain a positive charge as a result.
Do the tranistion metals gain or lose electrons?
Most of them usually lose electrons because they usually have a +(insert number) as their charge.
