If an atom of iodine gains one electron it will have the same number of valence electrons as which element?
The same number of valence electrons as xenon.
How many valence electrons are there in the sulfite ion?
8 because sulfur has 6 valence electrons and when it becomes sulfide it gains two electrons making it 6+2=8.
When this element gains 2 electrons it has the electron configuration of the noble gas Argon?
The element is sulfur with 16 electrons. It gains two electrons to form sulfide ion which has 18 electrons as that of argon.
Does H and HE have the same valence electron configuration?
Hydrogen and helium have different valence electron configurations. Hydrogen has one valence electron, and helium has two valence electrons. However, hydrogen does typically form covalent bonds in which it shares an electron, and thereby gains an effective electron configuration of two, like helium. Hydrogen also can form the H+ ion which has no electrons.
What is the symbol for the sulfur ion?
The symbol is S2- because to become an ion a sulfur atom gains two electrons and each electron has a 1- charge.
Why are only valence electrons represented in Lewis structure?
Because they are the only ones involved in bonding. For example, when an forming an ionic compound one atom loses its valence electrons and one gains electrons to make its valence electron shell complete.
How many electrons does iodine gain to achieve noble gas electron configuration?
Iodine gains 1 electron to fill it's shell.
What is the charge of a valance electron?
The charge of a valence Electron is negative. The word valence means the combining power of atoms: the combining power of atoms or groups measured by the number of electrons the atom or group will receive, give up, or share in forming a compound. Therfore nothing changes the electrons charge. The electrons charge will always be negative no matter what. Electrons make up the stable atoms. If it the atom gains or looses an electron it becomes either a positive (looses an electron) or negative (gains an electron) ion.
What heppens when a atom gains or loses electrons?
When an atom gains or loses electrons, it gains a negative or positive charge respectively. Atoms generally try to gain enough electrons to fill their outer, valence electron shell. For the first shell the number of electrons is 2 and for all others, atoms usually want 8 electrons.
How many electrons does an atom of sodium lose when it forms a bond how many electrons does an atom of sulfur gain when it forms a bond?
Sodium loses one electron to form a Na+ ion. Sulfur gains two electrons to form a sulfide ion, S2-.
How many electrons does sulfide ion have?
A Sulfide ion has a full complement of 8 valence electrons. Sulfur is element 16. It has 6 valence electrons in its outer energy level, however, sufide is S2- so it has gained 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.
How many electrons does sulfur gain or lose to become stable?
Sulfur gains 2 electrons to become stable.
