How many valence electrons must sulfur gain or lose to get 8 valence electrons?
It must gain two electrons.
Does group 13 elements lose or gain valence electrons?
It is going to lose electrons
How many valence electrons must bromine gain or lose to get 8 valence electrons?
Bromine must gain one electron
How many valence electrons must calcium lose or gain to have 8 valence electrons?
It loses 2 electrons to obtain the argon configuration of 8 valence electrons.
How many electrons does Mg gain or lose?
Two electrons.
When an atom of magnesium forms an ionic bond with an atom of oxygen which will gain electrons?
Magnesium has a charge of 2+ and oxygen 2- Magnesium will lose the two "extra electrons" in its valence shell when creating an ionic bond with oxygen. The oxygen will gain these two electrons.
Would a magnesium atom prefer to lose or gain electrons?
Magnesium is in the second group (column) of the periodic table, so it has two valence electrons or electrons in its outer shell. so in order for it to fulfill the octet rule (get eight electrons in its valence shell most of the time), then it would rather lose two electrons and have a full valence shell than gain six electrons.
How many valence electrons must sulfur gain or lose to get 8 valence electrons?
It must gain two electrons.
How many electrons phosphorus must gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Does group 13 elements lose or gain valence electrons?
It is going to lose electrons
How many electrons does phosphrous have to gain or loose to have 8 valence?
P has 5 valence electrons so it can gain 3 electrons or lose 5 electrons to have a full valence shell.
How many electrons must phosphorus p gain or lose to have 8 valence electrons?
Phosphorus wants to gain three electrons to have 8 valence electrons.
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
How many valence electrons must bromine gain or lose to get 8 valence electrons?
Bromine must gain one electron
How many valence electrons must calcium lose or gain to have 8 valence electrons?
It loses 2 electrons to obtain the argon configuration of 8 valence electrons.
How many electrons does Mg gain or lose?
Two electrons.
Does lanthanum Gain or lose electrons during bonding?
This is a metal so it will lose its valence electrons.
