What is an atoms overall electrical charge?
Neutral. An atom has as many negative electrons in its shells as there are positive protons in its nucleus. Thus overall the positive and negative charges are balanced out. Should an atom gain or lose an electron it will then become an 'Ion' which will have an overall negative or positive (respectively) charge.
How many electrons are lost or gained in the element o when they form ions?
atoms gain and lose electrons, so they can have a full outer shell of 8 electrons (or two electrons if its the innermost shell) when atoms lose electrons it is called oxidation and when they gain electrons they are said to be reduced. OIL RIG is most commonly used to help remember that oxidation is loss and reduction is gain of electons. when atoms lose electrons they are left with a positive charge and when they can electrons they have a negative charge.
How many electrons does Mg gain or lose?
Two electrons.
How many valence electrons do alkali metals lose to obtain an octet?
they lose one electron
How many electrons will strontium gain or lose in forming an ion?
It will lose 2 to form Sr2+
How large was the confederate army at Gettysburg?
Many historians are debating about it today. Over 6000 men died in pickets charge. Well, my best guess would be a strong 60,000 men (many deserted as they entered the north)
How many games did Mike Ruddock lose when in charge of Wales?
2, these were against Australia and New Zealand.
How many electrons must sodium lose before it has an octet?
Sodium atoms lose one electron in order to obtain an octet. Hence, sodium ions have a 1+ charge.
How many electrons will sodium gain or lose in forming an ion?
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
How many years does a first degree murder charge get you in North Carolina?
A first degree murder charge gets you life w/o parole in most cases.
How many joules of energy does each coulomb of charge have at the battery terminals?
That depends on the voltage. In general, a coulomb of charge will either gain or lose (depending on the direction) one joule of energy for every volt of potential difference. For example, if the battery has 12 V, a coulomb of charge will gain or lose 12 joules of energy when going from one terminal to the other.
How many electrons would fluorine have to gain or lose too become stable what will be the stable ion's charge?
Fluorine will gain one electron to form F- (or fluoride) ion. Fluoride ion has a charge of -1.
How many men did North and South Vietnam lose during the Second Indochina war?
they lost exactly 256 men
How many electrons does an atom of lithium need to lose to form an ion with a plus 1 charge?
To form a 1+ ion a lithium atom must lose 1 electron. The same goes for any other atom.
How many electrons does sodium need to lose to become a noble gas element?
Sodium would need to lose one electron in order to obtain a full and stable outer shell, however it would be an ion with a positive charge
Which of the following does a histogram resemble the most?
A picket fence, except for some odd reason they used many different length pickets instead of making them all the same as they usually do.
How many electrons will chlorine gas gain or lose when it become an ion?
A chlorine atom will gain one electron when forming an ion. That will give the ion a charge of 1-.
